    I free floated it yes. My reloading is very precise im certain its not that. Im very good with my mitutoyo calipers.

    Id love to spend a day with a good shooter! Im in oshawa and have a membership. If you are a member somewhere lemme knkw ill go to your range and let you have a go with my gun so you can tell me my shooting sucks. Id be happy to hear that lol over u telling me the gun sucks.

    Wind/mirage are also important factors beyond 800 yards. Check out tiborasaurus rexs sniper 101 on youtube he covers everything from a-z in long range shooting. Ive learnt a ton but unfortunately im still looking for good groups at 100 yards!

    I was excited when i shot i first 2 3 shot groups after reseating my projectiles to factory spec. Both .75 inch but then they opened up the rest of the day. I let it cool 5-15 minutes and doesnt seem to make a difference. Could just be me but after 600+ rounds id think im ok. Replaced front bags with bipod thinking added weight would help. Rear bag still there and sights are always stable on target. I position myself the same each time and hold the rifle on the same place on shoulder still nothing. I dont flinch i know that.

    Whats a head?

    Never had to worry about this with my winchester brass. Neck sized only new unfired brass and reloaded 4 times, neck sized only, always chambered easily.

    Gotta say it's a little deceiving when the (expensive) Nosler brass box says “Fully prepped, ready to load”.

    Ok I see what you guys mean. I just coated the inside of the recess on the stock with some poly. We are talking .005″ thick coats. I didn't bed anything really.

    I don't have a full length sizing die :-/

    It seems to chamber the round with enough force, like 5 lbs. Is this safe to shoot?

    I tried both an empty and loaded cartridge and can force them down with some resistance. A factory Remington round will chamber easily. Should I be concerned? All dimensions are below spec.

    I just noticed your reply J.

    In your previous post you said it should be tight in the stock. I made i tight, but now you are saying it will crack? Then should it have been left loose in the stock?

    Larkin, do you have Crown Land in England? We do here and we are free to camp, fish, hunt, hike and target shoot (with appropriate licenses of course).

    I sanded the inside of my barrel channel to better free float my barrel, and while re-finishing it with polyurethane, I made sure to get some in the recoil lug channel, and inserted the lug in there to squeeze out the excess (and washed the lug after of course). Now it fits very snug. I'm hoping all this will solve my accuracy problem with the 270win.

    Have you guys tried the limbsaver? Made a huge difference on my 270 win. Pushes instead of kick.

    I was under the impression a laminate stock was stiffer but i can easily bend it by squeezing the end of it when i grab it and the muzzle. Im sure its just pine because its very light.
