Ok, test # 2 is complete. These were 4 shot groups fired slowly.
I removed the shims to free float the bbl, as Savage supplied it.
Horizontal stringing went away and the 25 gr bullets shot about 1.5" lower than yesterday. The 20 gr jobs were only about 2" higher than the 25s.
However (there is always a catch, right?), the 20 gr bullets were all over the target...... The wind was starting to blow near the end, but it wasn't gale force, for sure! ha ha
So, the next test will be to shoot the 20 gr first (cold bbl) and the 25 gr last, to see if it's heat related.
The fun continues.....
