Gents,

There is probably something to the heated barrel. Shooting BH209 lets one proceed much faster as there is no swabbing between shots. The day at the range was 30 outside and 60 inside the range house. I was on the bench adjacent to the RH door so I could step inside to load (my momma didnt raise no fool). However I was careful to ensure that the barrel was cool. Not cold, but cool. (about 5 minutes between shots)

Every Knight I have ever shot was a shooter. I have strong suspisions that the bedding is exacerbating the problem. I love tinkering with the ML's anyway, so I am going to improve the bedding anyway. To be honest I didnt have an idea how to fully bed the stock and keep the ramrod channel free. Thus I am glad to hear that the action area is all that is needed.
