[QUOTE="del2les, post: 3066884, member: 9299"] Savage barrels have been known to be hit or miss in roughness. Years ago, I had a M12 BVSS in a 1/9tw 223, and with a handload of H335 and 50gr Speer TNT's, it shot 0.3" 5 shot groups and was great on the P-dog towns. That is until about 40 shots were down the tube, and then about every 4th or 5th shot I saw those fragile TNT's disintegrating before reaching their targets and more misses than hits. After a good cleaning, it went back to shooting tight little groups until the same thing began again. After that shoot, I hand lapped the barrel, and I never had that issue again. Similar rough bore with a 22-250 Savage I purchased, but this time, I fire polished with a Tubbs kit before loading and shooting, and it never gave me an issue. [/QUOTE]
