A CTR stock doesn't have a pinch point/pressure point in the bbl channel. Even the factory hvy bbl floats in a bone stock CTR stock. I won't beat a dead horse, but I can't see a better way to see if the pressure point may be contributing to the issue I was having. You certainly can't be suggesting that I should of reworked the load again because I ” free floated” the bbl. You guys can take whatever you want from my results, but it seemed pretty telling to me.
I just did basically did the same thing with a rem 700. I really didn't want to mess with the stock if I didn't need to , so I developed a decent load for it in stock form a few months back. I took it out this week and it was throwing flyers. I lightly dremeled the pressure point out, relieved the forearm a bit and shimmed the action up by the recoil lug. Same day, same shells, and my sub 1/2 moa load showed up on the target again. The gun shot about 2 1/2″ lower after I shimmed it and took the stress away. Again… take my advice or leave it as I was just relaying my results. The 700 needs bedded, as do a few other S/A 700's I own. Most have the action shimmed by the front action screw and everyone has shot 1/2″ groups or better.

I think you are confused on what we are calling pinch point…its not a pressure point in the barrel channel (thats different all together)…The pinch point I'm referring too is the first few inches in front of the action…slide paper done the barrel of your rifle and you will see what I mean…it slightly varies on all the synthetic stocks from Varmint, CTR, and Lite barrels based on the cut…you will see variances between the various gun models.
Lite barrel guns seeming to have the tightest fit in this area (from experience), paper will stop in a different spot an the CTR and Varmint stocks…even the slightest change here will give you the messed up accuracy results you experienced. ONLY T3 “wood” stocks seem to be somewhat consistent in this area.Sure…you can fit a “lite” barrel into any T3 stock but POI and harmonics will change from stock to stock based on this pinch point, thats why most of free float the barrels right to the action if the gun doesn't shoot and do load development after this mod. Its gives the best repeatable action seating coupled with a “metal” bottom plate.
Like you said, lets not beat a dead horse…its obvious I can't make understand what I'm trying to describe to you regarding your test..and what we have tested to be true on all other T3 rifles…
Let agree to disagree…but can other people with T3 experience chim in on what i'm describing…

Dog total on your side , there’s times when what ever you say / type they just don’t / won’t see what your actually trying to get across , they just go into self defence mode thinking you are having a personal dig at them , I know your not , just take a deep breath and let them carry on , I’ve had this trying to show people how to shoot , they just won’t / will not take it onboard then they come over a couple of weeks later and apologies and tell you you was right lol ,

I have three T3/T3x. Everyone of them shot better consistently with the pinch point removed and free floated up to the lug.

I have the T3 Lite stainless in 30'06 and it shoots the 180gr better than anything. I tried everything, I am an 06 nut, used to hate it, but now I love it and all its offspring.
I had probably 20 different brands of ammo in 150gr up to 220gr, the 220gr were brutal in this Lite. I had a cut across my nose for a week.
I did the shoot and clean, fouling round and then 3 for a group, regardless of brand, my rifle likes the 180gr weight. It actually shot the cheap Winchester Super X 180gr power points the best. I actually ordered a case of them. I would hunt with any round I tried under 300yds, but I would stretch the range out to 400 on smaller quarry, pigs and yotes. I installed the Ernie The Gunsmith Varmint Trigger spring in this rifle, torqued the action screws to 32in lbs and mounted a Leica 3-15 x 56mm ER 5 scope in a high DNZ tactical scope mount.
This gun is far more accurate than either of my X-Bolt rifles in the same caliber.
