Gunsmithing Inletting Williams Bottom Metal

[SND]

Bought some used metal from a member and inletted it to my 5R stock. It was ~1/4" longer in the front to I needed to extent that area of the stock and widen the rear of the mag well area just a bit. It slips in nicely and seems to sit on the pillars well. Torqued the metal down just as with the factory metal. No probs. Just went and shot 300 yds and it seems as though it's throwing proven loads just a bit. The bell has rung on the installation but am I missing something?? There are a few small spots that are tight.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

Just clean it up so there is no pressure anywhere and if your so inclined bedding it never hurts.

Thanks. I may have had a bit too much caffeine in me this morning. I checked the setup over and hit the range again [less than a mile from home] with much better results. I most likely wasn't getting on the gun and watching my form. It's back to itself again ... I should say, I'm back to myself again!!! Thanks for the response and I will consider bedding the metal.
