[QUOTE="AKSavage, post: 1250347, member: 95938"] I just got back from the range and three out of the four loads I was testing shot 5 shot groups under 1.5" at 200 yards, with two of them at 1.25". One of those loads was not jammed, but the best two were lightly jammed at .008". It is a custom barrel, but considering it's a fairly light barrel on a factory action and factory tupperware stock, that's plenty good. It's also right about as good as the rifle shot when the barrel was new, so I'm satisfied. I'm going to do one more test with 8 rounds each of the best two loads to determine my final load, and then I think I'm going to baby this barrel from here on out. I still have some room left in the magazine. Gotta love the long (2.99") magazine of Savage short actions, which is actually one reason I choose to build on a Savage. It looks like I'm good for a few more seasons. [/QUOTE]
