[QUOTE="zr600, post: 1786622, member: 104269"] hi all. I have a Ruger m77 mark ii, it’s a 270win. I have had load inconsistencies issues with it. One time I shot a load with 150g Berger’s shot 3 all touching next time it shot them two inches. Tried some 110 Barnes tttsx with two different powder and primers shot both powders with fed215m primers 1/2moa or so then the next time they were shooting 1.5-2”. This is all shooting of bipod and rear bag. My father-in-law gave me the gun he said with factory ammo he would have some inconsistencies too. He figured it was good enough for me in the woods were I was hunting when I started. Anyways I’m reloading now and advanced a lot since he gave me the rifle. I took it and sanded the barrel contact point out free floated the barrel. Then I just mixed up some jb weld and sprayed all my stuff down with Accra release twice degreased it twice. I sanded the recoil lug area and the area around it were the action sits. Then i also bedded the little pad in the back were the rear action screw is. I put the screws back in the action loosely not tight then put a couple wraps of electrical tape around the stock and action and left it. Do you think I bedded enough? Or should I have done the sides too? [/QUOTE]
