How many rounds does the barrel have? Some Savage rifles take close to 200 rounds to "settle."
How many rounds do you shoot between cleaning? You could be cleaning too much. Many Savage shooters believe their rifle shoots better when it's dirty. Try going 50 or even a 100 rounds between cleaning. I generally don't clean unless accuracy gets bad or I'm done with the rifle for the season.
Lastly, before you change powder or seating depth, try a different brand of primer. If you get the same result then start changing one variable at a time.
