Quote from: Againstthegrains on Apr 23, 2024, 09:11 PM@ Treeman, that makes a lot of sense. The one thing is that it takes a lot of confidence in the shooter to say I know exactly where that bullet should have gone, and why did it not go there. I had to see the pattern a few times before it clicked, and wasn't just user error. I wonder if it is my bedding that covers the first 10mm of my chamber. Perhaps my chamber is heating up and pressing on the bedding? I'll grind a bit away and see?

Try this first, take a washer and grind it to fit and place under action in the stock and then tighten up and go shoot. This will lift action thickness of washer. There are a few ways to do this using velomite gasket paper or aluminium tape etc etc, find best for you way to lift the action .25 of a mm, just enough to tell a story.
I once in desperation painted a stock white inside and then shot it till a story was transferred to the whit paint.
Thin barrels are kak - period
