went an got it bought (that was harder than you think) it, being a 12 vlp 22-250 1/9" twist. The twist was the reason I dove into this one. Anyhow, done a "breakin in" shoot one clean for the first 8 shots, was plannin on 10 shot "break in" but I AIN'T patient! went to the range with some Winchester white box 45 grainers....well, it was quite depressing.

That was the least embarrassing group I was willin to show :-[ Hmmm, I thought. went back to the hacienda, got to checkin things like bases and screws and rings and anything else simple. nope! all good. And of course thanks to the wealth of info here, I checked the bedding contact with some of my wife's lipstick. let me tell ya, THAT, almost got me into some deep doodoo. Anyway, found a pressure point just forward and to the right of the forward pillar. Plus some erratic contact on the rear portion of the receiver. well, my dremel was broke so, made a little trip over to Pop's house ti borrow his, he don't mind. I'll have it back long before he gits back from Kuwait.....you believe that right?? No, of course I won't have it back till he asks me about it....Duh!
Went to grindin on some wood, you know inlettin, redneck hack job style ;) Torqed her down an went back to the range with the white box...of course! And some reloads ;D

Sent two white box rounds down to warm the barrel. Then proceeded to shoot groups with the very first batch of reloads.
The bottom right was the very first group...needles to say, I was awestruck!!
40 gr. seirra HP 38.0gr. varget. Second group, bottom left was 38.5 gr. varget. Third group, top right, 39.0 gr. Fourth group top left, 39.5 gr.
They progressivly opened up. The first group measured .321 with On target. The last group measured .781 Not bad for the first batch.
Got some Devcon 10110 comin so I can git the action bedded propper like.
OOOOOO this gonna be a fun ride....I've already got about five different builds goin on in my head as I type. Oh yeah, the white box stuff, still don't shoot worth a hoot ::)
