I'm glad I wasn't setting out to convince you of anything. Only humoring myself. As you could never convince ME that you even have a heart, let alone any strings beyond the ones on your tampons, I'll continue.....
Early on, the gun took a fit and the piece of walnut, though pretty, was a lousy piece of twisting crap. Snugged itself to the barrel so I relieved the channel some and went at it OK for a year or so. The wood moved again. So I hogged the channel out so it wouldn't/couldn't do it again. In the midst of that, I decided to play with free-floating vs pressure points, screw torque and the like. Shot ten 5-shot groups at 100 on an NRA smallbore target. The biggest group was a low .6. Box stock Ruger .......with a stroked out barrel channel. Period.
Maybe that sucks azz in the Eskimo rockpile league. But it's not too disrespectable in most rational folks' world's..........no matter WHAT silly picture of brass, bullets and dies you're about to re-post for the hundredth time.
