After the .268" group with the Hornady factory ammo in that .204 build, I acquired that same bullet used in that load (the 32 gr. V-max) and worked up some of my newly fired cases to prepare to handload them.

I tried Imr 4198 with a published load from Hodgden's ........... before it maxed out, I had one three shot @100 that was a vertical string and measured .390" .......

THEN ........... I ran some H4895 out and the second load, right in the middle of Hodgden's published load range gave me:

........................ .210" @ 100 yds. for three shots!

Count me slack jawed at Savage rifles!!!
