Howdy,
I got a newer Howa bolt action and I am only seeing 1 lug making at best 50% contact while the other is making no contact at all. With the right ammo i can shoot close to moa but i was hoping for better as we always do. I was thinking of lightly lapping the contact side until i saw at least some contact on the non contact side. I don't know how far out it is, but i would guess it shouldn't be too much? Does this sound like a good idea? Do you think I would see any improvement in accuracy?
Thanks
I asked this in a different forum before I realized there was a gunsmithing section here, so I thought I'd ask here as well to see if there is any wisdom to be had. Link below is my original enquiry thread.
