Finally got my 50 Beowulf on paper. Both times the first shot was 4" high. The second group the barrel was getting warm and probably threw the 5th shot. I used a tack driver bag and rear bag. Scope and rings are tight.

I figured out what was wrong, the Beowulf bolt is milled 10 thou deeper than a 223 bolt. It was piercing the primer. I filed the firing pin down to 28 thou protrusion, no more pierced primers and groups tightened up.
 
Not sure where I'm gonna go with this build yet, but I had a couple Colt LPK's sitting around so I started. Note the fire selector position of "keep dreaming"

The imminent death of this thread gives me hope that Canadian firearms owners do not intend to let themselves be pushed around.
