    Savage action 26" 1:8 barrel won't shoot SMK 107s


    Have tried a number of ladder tests with powder charges and seating depths, this gun just plain doesn't like them. Just picked up some Berger 108s, hopefully those are more to it's liking. Interestingly it will shoot the 100grn Game Kings in .75 groups at 225 yards all day long with this being the best group so far:

    You'll run into that occassionally. Just shoot what works best in YOUR barrel. My Parker Hale heavy barrel Mauser in 308 plainly hates the 155 grain Palma but shoots the 150/168 gr SMK and 155 gr A-Max bughole.

    Yeah they're particular little buggers. I've been hoping to find some 105grn A-Maxs but everyone seems to be out. Hopefully the Bergers shoot well.
