How many rounds down the barrel.Some of the savages can over a hundred rounds to calm down. I had one that did the same thing so I bought the tubbs final finish bullets and loaded them up and gave a whirl.After I meticulously cleaned the barrel9ALSO BETWEEN THE BULLET GRADES) i SHOT THE TIGHTEST GROUP EVER WITH MY SAVAGE F-CLASS. i KNOW ,IT ISNT A PRECISION CARBINE BUT THE PRINCIPLE IS IDENTICAL . Soryy caps lock stuck. Anyways the rifle woke up dramatically.It is only a stock barrel so no big loss if it made it worse. They only guarantee 1 moa anyways.One of my favorite loads is 42.0 grains of h335 or blc-2.You must work up to it first. I have also had good luck using the 8208xmr at around the same grains with 168 grain hornady match bullets naked for now.Some others have had great luck with sierra 175mk's and some of the berger hybrids at or around 168 grains.Consult loading data from the online manual if you dont have one right now.I also suggest buying the latest manuals from at least hornady,sierra,hodgdon.
