[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 626403, member: 10429"] I been tring to get a load workd up for my new savage 116. I think it has a 22 or 23.5 inch barrel. I've been tring the 4831SC. With book loads I get at best around 2700 FPS. I've went to 53 grains at 2980fps. No sign of pressure issues but load was opening up at 100yrds. I tried some of the HSM berger loads and for some reason they shoot out of my gun at 3015fps and my bolt is tight when unloading. Also the case is showings signs of bolt marks. I think the loads are to hot for my rifle which is really odd but it is what it is. I'm shooting for around 2850fps with good groups. My 51.5grn at COL 3.1, 140grn berger only yielded 2660 to 2700fps but the group was 3/4 inch at 100yrds. Also this gun has only had about 30 round through it so it might still be settling in on the volicity. I also was not cleaning after each and every round. Shooting 3 rounds and then clean. But once this barrel is gone or I save up some more money its getting a match grade barrel put on. Right now I have no compalints about the gun though. [/QUOTE]
