B&C Light Tactical in mail yesterday

[groundhogbuster]

It's simply amazing what a decent stock does for accuracy. Cleaned new SPS Varmint/.243 and fired a 3 shot group w/ factory Winchester 100gr, and 80gr loads, and my first groups were 1.2" with 100's and just under an inch with 80's. I ordered some Devcon, 95gr BT's, 87gr Bergers, and 75gr Speer HP's. I haven't skimmed the stock yet, but groups shrunk to .864" w/ 100's and .357 w/ 80's. I will be loading some Win brass with the 95's using IMR 4350, and playing with COAL this weekend. Anyone know what a good load is for .243? I'm used to my 6mmRem by Spencer, and it loves 4350. I don't do much LR big game hunting, and best is a 611yd groundhog, w/70gr Bergers. I believe the twist is 1/9.25, so it should stabilize the 95's right?
1 more question. Anyone know who will GAP camo my BC stock at a decent price?

I had the same question on the twist a while back... this was my experience.

Groundhogbuster,

Contact "shortbus" here on the hide for a great paint job. Look in the pic section for some of his work. He does very nice work.

Regards, Paul

Believe I will try that, and I've read a ton, and been an AR Armorer, as well as Glock for years, but never bedded a stock before. Can someone tell me exactly what to do? And do I put the dev in the lug area or just behind? I wanna keep that barrel floated, and I've saw tape around barrels, tape on the lug itself, heard to snug action screws, and not to even insert action screws. Kinda lost. I looked at a thread on here, but the pics were all random (non gun) related to the project. Do we have a "Sticky" here on bedding a BC or HSP? Be nice to have one, with lots of pics.

The link above is a nice thread and on the last page someone has some good pics.

If you have anymore questions I would ask them there in that thread.

I bed to the lug no further! But I'm a Savage shooter.
