I am moving a 300 WSM from a Manners mini chassis system to Manners with a Wyatt’s box, so that I can feed the longer rounds that shoot amazing. I have a Remington varmint contour barrel and a Stiller predator action. I was told by my smith that 1.5 inches of the barrel needs to be bed along with the action to support the barrel. I have been running the gun in a chassis which free floats the barrel and it shoots amazing. I most likely will never shoot faster than 20 rounds in 20 to 30 minutes with this rifle.
My question is: Will I see better, same or worst accuracy bedding the barrel for 1.5 inches? Also, does anyone have actual experience where bedding 1.5 inches of the barrel caused accuracy issues and they were fixed by removing the bedding?
Thanks
