I had one for a bit, it shot the 105 Amax's pretty well. I think I used Varget.

I'm going to try the Varget and the 105's, I hunted groundhogs all my life this year I just started shooting the paper ones, the big difference is consistency. Shooting a good group today is wonderful, but can you do it again tomorrow, that sounds easy but its not.
My best 243 load is with 105 A-Max, Imr 4350, Fed 210m primer, Winchester case. Do about as good with Varget, though it doesn't fill the case as much as one would like to see. Mine is a sporter barrel. If I'm correct you have a 26" barrel. That's a plus!
Its not coming along at all, from new I had the occasional problem of not firing, it made a dent in the primer but did not fire, it continued to get worse, some times 3 out of 15 wouldn't fire. So several weeks ago I called Savage and shipped it back. Haven't heard a thing since.
Sorry to hear.
I'm sure they will find the problem. Some thing I just read today that I never heard of, NOT bedding the tang on the Savage rifles, I guess that's because there is no mounting screw in the tang? Do you know if there are any pics of a bedded stock to show whats bedded and whats not?
