Tom do a pictorial while you are doing it so everyone can get a chance to watch it in progress for their future needs. Please.

Real good advice. Sometimes I remove some wood in unseen spots if theres noplace for the epoxy to be. Just a piece of advice, if you didn't get the paste type of bedding goop I would. The regular stuff is real runny but the paste you can put only where you want it.

I can second the hot stuff recomendation too. Its great stuff. I'm still not convinced recoil broke your stock but there things will certainly prevent it from happening for any reason.

Hi S.B., I was using Laser Cast 405gr. bullets in Starline cases and CCI primers. I used 55.0grs. of Accurate Arms 2015. It is one fierce load :shock: .
