[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1024668, member: 35183"] The 1:9.25 twist rate is correct. For high BC bullets (including 95gr Berger) a 1:8 barrel is much better. I changed my barrel out before I had 100 rounds through it. Real easy to do on a Savage. You should easily be able to adjust that trigger down. I have not had to work on any of my accutriggers yet other than adjusting the spring preload. The heaviest bullet I could shoot out of my factory barrel (a 26" varmint barrel on a model 12) was the 95gr SST from Hornady. The 95gr + VLD's would not group at all. I am using Hodgdon 4350. for a 95gr bullet 41gr is listed as a maximum load. My chamber is an ackley, so the 41gr is a good fireforming load for me and is also my coyote hunting load. When I get a big enough batch of brass, I will develop my 105gr load. [/QUOTE]
