[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 754771, member: 61747"] I was thinking about this and so far I have talked to read about 5 different savage owners and all seem to be prefering .070- .085 off the lands. Yours may be different though. My thoughts were simply to ensure the bullet seating depth was going to work for hunting conditions and start from there. I really don't want my bullets being knocked out of alignment while magazine feeding, etc. I also noticed considerably more consistency with the concentricity guage when seating deeper. If at 040 off you have plenty of bullet in the neck then by all means try it. If not, just jump to 075 and work from there. 075 100 125. Somewhere you find a good set up I would imagine. Later, once wolf hunting is over, I will mess around with fine tuning the seating depth and neck sized cases. I have about 20 more unfired cases I am working with and would imagine this rifle is going to tighten up the groups even more. [/QUOTE]
