Keith,

Thanks again for sharing your experiences with your Savage rifles. I will do some more shooting and see what happens. I am definetaly short on experience when it comes to shooting tight groups with this gun. When I was younger I was obsessed with getting my Marlin 880 (.22 lr) to shoot good groups and spent alot of time doing it, but this is whole new ballgame. I do have a good set of bags and was shooting off of a solid bench though.

I'm excited about getting into reloading and have read alot of good things about the Lee collet neck sizing dies along with the cast iron press. Thanks for the recommendation.

Is there a recommended torque spec for the bolts holding the action? After taking the rifle apart I went about finger snug plus a quarter turn.


Trappst,

Thanks for the reloading data and cleaning recommendations.


I'll report back after I get a chance to shoot some more and do some reloading.

I sincerely appreciate the help.

Tim
