Re: Accuracy advise for Ruger No1 in 45/70

Quote:
You can try hard bedding to the barrel, however - the rule of thumb with 2 piece stocks, is you can have the fore end touching the barrel, or you can have the fore end touching the action's front surface, but not both.
It is a rule, not a law - more like a guideline.
Spot on.
Stick with it. The local gunshop owner had a No.1 in 45-70 and it could be really stoked up with loads a lot 'stronger' than factory offerings due to the design of the action (not being a lever gun). Maybe you need to try some handloads with a bit of oomph.
