great write up! Did it make a difference in how it shoots?

The rifle shot great before all this work. I just like fooling with rifles in my spare time when I can't be shooting them. ;D

It's hard to say where the small improvement in accuracy is coming from. After 100 rounds, is the barrel fully broken in?

At first the rifle shot one or two 17HMR offerings better than the others. Now it shoots everything about the same. My best 5 shot groups at 100 yds are under 1/2".........

Nice shootin!

I just wanted to know out of curiosity... I know that bedding is necessary for consistency, and sometimes it can make dramatic effects on group size; mostly on factory rifles. You do nice work... If I decide to bed mine, I'll definitely use your write-up!
