Data for Accuracy Before and After Bedding

[lee1000]

So I've ordered a Boyd's Pro Varmint walnut stock for my MKII BV and plan to pillar bed it and finish it. What data would you like to see for the testing? Do you have anything to add to my list below. I'll probably give the rifle a very good cleaning prior to the test. I can't remember the last time it was cleaned.

Protocol:
Shoot stock rifle while trying to get the best 5 shot groups and tuning action screw torque.

Shoot unbedded Boyd's stock while tuning action screw torque.

Shoot the rifle post bedding.


Data:
Ammo used (will likely be Eley Target). I'm able to get 0.9" at 100 yards with that and CCI Green Tag. That was before learning about action screw torque.

Action screw torque

Cleaning the rifle, I'll have to figure out a regime for this.

Wind conditions. If it's windy I just won't shoot that day.

Measure velocity with Chronograph, why not right

Warmup and shoot 5, 5 shot groups

I'll likely shoot it off a heavy bag, I do have a bipod though.

Anything else?

Might be curious to see pillars only vs. pillars and bedded.

I might try that but my range is 45 minutes away.
