Ken,
<br>458Lott mentioned a phenomenon that afflicts one of my rifles too & I am interested in your take on this. It is a Model 7 Youth in .243Win that only starts to group decently with a warm load. Littlebit & I were talking about it and theorized (dangerous thing for me to do [Linked Image]) that this rifle may have a bedding problem. It takes 42 grns of IMR 4350 behind a 100grn Partition to make it MOA or better. Interestingly, the POI shifts drastically with reduced (recommended starting loads according to the Speer Manual) and grouping opens to more than 4". The POI is approximately 4-6" lower at 100 yds with a starting load (about 37.5grns IMR 4350) Your thoughts on this? thank you, badger.

To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
