[QUOTE="liltank, post: 306143, member: 13275"] I have a Mod 12 Low Profile in 300WSM that started life as a .308. It would consistently shoot 1" but mostly 3/4" or less. I have cosistently shot .5MOA with this rifle using handloads. When changing to the 300WSM it took some time developing a load, but so far I have 2 kills at 600yrds+ on ground hogs. One of the shots was in the head at 605yrds. I have two confirmed hits at 1100yrds on steel. The only modifications have been a muzzle break, and rechambering. Nothing more, nothing less. I would suggest taking your Mod 11 to a smith and have him scope the barrel and see if there are any flat spots in the rifling. It may just need to be recrowned. I did have some burring issues initially in the chamber when I bought the rifle that required a little cleaning up. That made my groups shrink, but at that point it had already shot a .233" group from prone on a bipod at 100yards with 110 V-Max's. Right now I am using 200grn SMK's with 61.5grns RL17. Seems to like this load and velocity. It is currently clocking at 2950 and cutting a ragged hole group in 80degree weather. I would really push Savage to fix the problem. Some one there should care.
