[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 469687, member: 46"] That sucks to hear! My first question would be this--were you thoroughly cleaning your rifle between using the different loads? The reason I ask is that I had TERRIBLE groups when I switched between Nosler and Barnes bullets in my 7.82 Warbird. That's when I learned that layering and fouling from different jacket material could throw groups way off. Once I cleaned my barrel and stuck with one type of bullet, my groups shrank to 1/2". Second question--how is your scope/mount set up? Was it sliding like it was on glass bearings between the rings before you cinched it down? I just recently had trouble with what my friend called "scope torque" and it threw groups all over the place on a proven accurate SPS tactical .308. Once I remounted the scope, the groups shrank back to normal. 5-8 inches is terrible, and should be cause for concern. If it's the gun, I'm sure Savage will make it right--this is the first time I've heard negative things about them. [/QUOTE]
