Thanks, My Remy 223 took about 200 rounds too. It is also a tricked out 11 lb gun with heavey 20 in barrel, B&C stock, shoots 1/2 at 200 yards all day If I do my parts. Trouble is its a 1 in 12 & likes B/H 40 grain.

I have cheap winchester loads I pop about 5 off as I clean well after each range session. Cool little gun (first Savage)but after first 2 range trips it was not shooting like all the Savages I read on here about. I will try the 52 grain instead of 55 & see what happens
