That is the same thing I was finding but the flat base seem to shoot better than the boat tails in the 55 gr bullet selections that I've tried but in saying that I haven't shot over 150 yards yet. The one thing I would advise you is to not clean out the copper fouling too much. I hear that the savage barrels really don't need exhaustive cleaning and, in fact, seem to shoot better when slightly copper fouled. Apparently it fills in any imperfections in the barrel. The copper fouling advice was given to me here at this forum, I just passed it forward trying to help out.
