Thread: Glass bedding pros and cons

So you're wanting to improve your accuracy at 600yd but happy with 0.6 moa at 100yd ?

I don't claim to be an expert at long range but people talk about several causes of poorer grouping further out:
Using factory ammo
Bullet quality and damaged tips
Bullet instability (eg too heavy so not spinning fast enough) a long bullet is said to be less stable too.
Muzzle velocity variation due to powder charger weight (less likely) or varying neck tension.
Scope problem like using an uncalibrated ballistic reticle, inaccurate click values or cant.
Wind, slope and altitude not allowed for.

Bedding is usually done to improve zero retention from day to day.
If wandering zero is your problem, talk with someone about free floating it. I hear that tikkas have two bumps at the tip of the foreend that the barrel rests on.
Widening the barrel channel can reduce problems due to leaves and raindrops making contact between the barrel and stock.
You don't rebed or glass bed around the action itself to do those two jobs.
