[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1229018, member: 8873"] Sorry about the multiple posts, can't get more than one picture to load...:rolleyes: Anyways, things I've noticed: •It will NOT group worth a crap when hot (even warm) •When totally cooled it will stack two shots together, but then heats up and goes stupid on me •Shot it @ 400 and the velocity is actually about 100 fps faster than what my chronograph is telling me (will confirm all this out to 800 on my next outing). Do y'all think I have a bedding problem or just a barrel that wasn't stress relieved very well? This is a hunting rifle and so if it will always group two rounds together then I may be able to live with that, at least through this season. I'll only load one in the chamber and one in the mag.:D I know the first one is the one that should count but I will shoot elk until I know they are down and not getting back up. [/QUOTE]
