[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 163005, member: 2580"] 300; I agree with stonewall and hired gun about needing to bed the bottom of the Wby recoil lug, but only if the stock has pillar blocks, or if you don't bed the front of the receiver and some of the barrel. In either of those cases, the bottom of the lug needs to be bedded. I don't always install pillar blocks, but I do always bed a short distance in front of the receiver, so if I install pillar blocks I don't space the bottom of the lug; otherwise I do. If the action has slothead action screws, I fit new socket head 1/4 - 28 screws and torque them to 65 in/lbs. Overall, this seems to give slightly more consistent point of impact than with the bottom of the lug in contact. On the question of tip pressure, stonewall provided a lot of good info that I didn't know, but experimenting with varying the pressure has paid off for me when I have had to try tip pressure to settle a buggy whip down. I don't know why Wby uses the two angular contact pads instead of just a simple pad (like Remington for instance), but once I've removed them to try a full-float, I don't put them back that way. I mostly don't trust 3 shot groups, but if you always plot the 1st shot out of a cold barrel (free-floated), and it consistently goes into the same place, I do trust that. If you can compare 3 first shots out of a cold barrel and they constitute a good group, centered where you want them, you're probably in business. The only reason I say probably is that if it's done out of a rifle with tip pressure, I still don't have 100 percent confidence in it. This info is mostly my opinion, clouded and confused by results. Good thread, good discussion. Tom [/QUOTE]
