Simple question. If you change stocks, does barrel harmonics change requiring a redo of load development?
Change stock: redo loads due to change in harmonic

Re: Change stock: redo loads due to change in harmonic
If the barrel is floated and action bedded on both stocks then it doesn't seem to be an issue. I have changed stocks on several rifles and only the POI changes.

So I guess another question then, why did the POI change? All other things being equal, the POI shouldn't change either.

I recently painted my stock, and upon putting everything back together and torquing it down, I was 1/10th click off to the right and 2/10th clicks off down. This is normal due to what inch/lb torque setting you use each time you reapply the receiver back in to the stock.
My stock is NOT bedded, it is a hogue overmold sps tactical stock and even when I use the same torque settings I usually have to compensate for a changed POI.

Ahh, now that makes sense.

Re: Change stock: redo loads due to change in harmonic
I am mid stream on a build. I thought I was going to have to wait 11 weeks on my barrel, but the vendor said he'll have some in stock this week and it'll ship towards the end of the week. The stock however is still 7 weeks out.
I was thinking about picking up one of Boyd's Centerfire Tacticool stocks (at $109 it is an inexepensive way to get up and shooting) to get this build done so I can get to load development. Plus I want some time behind the new barrel and the new scope for this build.
