Cajun said:Thanks guys! That makes sense. On my new Omega, the stock is flush against the barrel all around where the two meet. So, if I have problems with POI after it heats up, then I need to float the barrel correct?
Is that normally accomplished by a lot of sanding?

If you have problems with accuracy I would first... let the rifle cool between shots. Even a 10 minute break between shots when the barrel gets hot, like summer time shooting, will make a big difference.
Or, call thompson center and tell them. They will fix the problem. If they can not do it, or you do not want to go that route, I would bed the rifle. Bedding will lock the rifle into a set position in the stock and normally it really does help with the accuracy. The problem with floating the barrel is you are going to have to either raise the barrel off the lugs, which might make it not function right, or you are going to have to remove stock which could really be a mess, void your warranty, and probably not really help.
I would call T/C and discuss the accuracy issue with them. They will tell you two Pyrodex Pellets and a 250 grain Shockwave. Be sure to swab between shots... I was told this when I called them about shooting conicals out of my Black Diamond XR. They give you the song and dance of, it might work but you would have better accuracy with two Pyrodex pelelts and a 250 grain Shockwave.
