[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2828818, member: 10429"] I finally made it out again with the 156's and the RL26. I was seated at 2.820 OAL on my savage. Speed was really good at 2780 with my max charge being 46 grains/Starline new brass which seem to have a little pressure. Bolt lift was a little tighter but no ejector swipe. 45.7 was fine on bolt lift and speed was 2762 avg. Nothing produced Steller accuracy groups. One thing that was nice was at 45.7 I had an ES of 12 and SD of 4, I think that is what it was but it was single digit SD and was like 10 or 12ES. So maybe some seating depth work and a little more powder refining. I wanted to load to the mag length but I may have to single feed. Its a savage 12 I think, its not the axis its like the regular savage action but just a short action. It was a special run from Cabela's with a heavy bull barrel and a acura trigger. The stock is defiantly nothing to mention as its the cheap plastic. But the cool thing is with the velocity, I get 1664 at 1000yrds and about 950ftp of energy. I shot mule deer with a 243 at a lot less and put them in the dirt. So if I can get it grouping at 1/2 minute or less then it should be superb on Mulley's and antelope. [/QUOTE]
