Unless there is something obviously wrong with the gun that requires correcting, I would do an extensive amount of load development before I even considered any gunsmithing fixes. Normally, bedding and lapping the barrel would fall above lapping the lugs as a fix. Do you even know if the lugs are bearing unevenly? You might put some magic marker on each lug of the bolt and close the bolt on a case that has been fired in that rifle (not resized). Lugs may already be bearing evenly. Either way, for a hunting rifle I would try a lot of different load combinations before I started tinkering with the gun. Good luck. Roskoe
