Grid nesting leaves more padding

When i nest grid, inside a row. the default padding is applied, for which i have to do something like 

<div class="col-md-4" style="padding:0">

</div>

Is there any other way?

add padding:0; to the element row

this will eliminate the default value of padding... every browser has is own default values for elements.

That's why a lot of people use a so called reset css file. So they eliminated all default values.

I believe Bootstrap achieves normalizing with its own presets. I don't remember exactly, but you might be able to change the presets when setting up the custom Bootstrap.
