good call on the bedding . Just checked the front screw and I was able to turn it quite easy . Before I do any more I need to get the torque specs .

EDIT : Well just went back and looked at all my targets for the last month and a half or 600rds of 4 and 5 shot groups for my load work ups . I can see the pattern in many of them . Some not as much as others but I'm 100% sure the rifle was doing this from almost the start of my reloading and testing .

Oh well I guess I'm upset about this because I feel I waisted money on materials but at the same time I think I may have many more good loads then I thought . I'm pretty sure I have 3 good loads right now with the way the rifle is shooting now . Those in theory should get better and some of those other groups that were just over 1 moa that I dismissed may shrink up in to the sub moa area .
