Well this was the guns chance to prove it's self. I hear about how good those Savages shoot. This session I just SLAPPED together some rounds loaded to max COAL. 4 bullets- 2 to 8 powder charges on each. I have been very obsessed in the past with reloading, testing all kinds of stuff. This time....
NO brass weighing (even mixed LC 82,83,84 head stamps)
NO Match/BR primers
NO weight sorting bullets
NO $200 trigger
NO bedding the action
NO bedding the scope base
NO Measuring guns O-give to the lands and varying .010"
NO measuring ammo co-centricity
NO neck thickness checking
NO type S bushing dies with varying the bushings
NO annealed cases
Shot in less than perfect wind conditions, still very light
I could go on but this is getting boring, you get the idea. Lets get to the good stuff. Here are the groups and data!


Just close ups of the above targets.




And a couple at 200yards


I see two big pluses, the groups are mostly under 1". There are a couple with 5 shot measurements under .5"
It shoots good enough to keep and better than a more expensive gun I have.
