One reason I got the X-Caliber was to cross check my shooting vs the original 12FV barrel. Long term needed anyway for the quantity I am shooting.

Also got antsy to get going and the 30-06 Bull is still 2 to 4 weeks out. Summer only last so long up here! (we shoot all year but I do like the more relaxed summer shooting)

An interesting twist (pun intended) was I fabbed up one load for the bull 308 (picked up some H168ZMax on a good deal) and the Savage barrel was shooting those as well.
Awful day wind wise at the range so have to repeat (unfortunately weekend was taken up by errands, medical appointment, house work, sigh)
