Jack O'Connor made multiple single-shot kills on moose at 600+yds with the 270 shooting the standard 130 gr bullet.

Then they shoot like I want. I'm doing both of those things for accuracy, but the traditional reason to lap is to make the gun easier to clean. Fact is, when you lap it, it is now broken in without firing a shot. OK, the first shot after lapping is usually not in the middle of the group, but subsequent shots are. The traditional reason to bed the action is to make the gun shoot in the same spot year after year, and to resume shooting well after removing the action from the stock. Both those things accomplish my goals. I lap every 400-500 rounds. I've done tests on a small scale to verify all this, and I would not bother to do it if it didn't work. If I could get the results some of the posters have documented with their groups in this thread, I'd do whatever they do and never look back. That said, my rifles done as above shoot like I say, and cost about $700 plus my effort. Sometimes I buy a used one that a guy can't "get to shoot" and spend less, and usually, but not always, get the same result.
