[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1316526, member: 96226"] Well, the rifle may just not be capable with that bullet of doing what you're wanting. Most Savage rifles can be hand loaded for to astonishingly accurate guns but not every single unit makes it. You don't mention which of the speer bullets you're using. The Trophy Bonded Bear Claw will be best with a 1:9.5 or faster twist to be properly stable. The others should stabilize easily at 1:10 Also, you don't mention the twist on your rifle. So first thing's first, make sure you've got enough twist. If you get your barrel twist and muzzle velocity I can run the math for you. Once I've got velocities worked out to where I need them and being consistent then I tune with seating depth. If it won't group, change powders. That's how I do it anyway. My powders of preference are IMR 4350, US869, H1000. [/QUOTE]
