Hi Guys,I recently changed out the synthetic stock to a HS Precision Pro Series 2000 , I handload and now I cannot get the rifle to shoot a decent concistent group I have made adjustments to all of my previous loads that I use to shoot but it will not group.One of my concerns prior to making change was going from a non-free floated barrel to a free float and could not get an answer other than may have to adjust load.HS recommends 65 in/lbs.front angular screw and rear and front trigger guard screw snug.My old synthetic Ruger told me to torque front angular screw to 95 in/lbs and the other 2 snug and the gun started shooting once I found the load.Now I do not know if i have not found the right load yet barrel harmonics or the gun just is not going to shoot.I did take the gun to my smith and the rear lug seat was a little off so he smoothed it up and said the gun should shoot.Any imput I would appreciate.
 
My recommendation would be to take a dollar bill or business card and folding it in half. Then slide it up between the barrel and stock until it is snug. Then shoot it again. Some barrels like a slight upward pressure on them just forward of the front action screw.
