Well, really, how much accuracy do you really need in a hunting rifle? Find a load that will hit the small side of a beer box at 50 yards and you're good to go. Don't spend all your time chasing that ragged one hole group when you could be out hunting.
I've got an infant and I'm the only one who works. It's a good hobby chasing ragged holes while I wait for the one time a year I get to spend a week hunting.Well, really, how much accuracy do you really need in a hunting rifle?

Just passing along the amazing advice I got when I asked about load development.
What makes you say it’s not bedded well enough? I assume it was bedded to the previous barrel when you bought it. Did you sand the channel/shank area out so it’s floated for your new barrel?
I did float the barrel, but the only bedding is around the recoil lug from the guy who built it, and there's not a ton in there. There's none anywhere else.
Does the recoil lug fit tight it? I’d also assume that McMillan probably at least has some pillars.
Not as tight as I'd like. And no, it doesn't have pillars. It must be a pretty old one.
