[QUOTE="britz, post: 609542, member: 7865"] thanks for the information and advice. I will try stretching the spring a little. I did a break in period with about 40 rounds. I cleaned the copper out using Sweets and did this every shot for the first 10, every 3rd for the next 15 or so, then every 5 rounds after that. The stock is not an accu stock. I have recently strenthened the stock using epoxy and steel rodds. but I know this will only aid me in my aiming issues taking out some of the wabble. I have done extensive development testing using H380,Imr 4064, IMR 4895, and a couple others... I have tried NBT 40,50, 55 gr. Sierra blitzkings 50 and 55 gr. Hornady Amax 52 gr, hornady vmax 50, 55, and 60 gr. many would group around 1.5" at 100 but I only got the 40 gr NBT's to group decent (about .75" at 100). I have done ladder tests with a few, but I also did 5 and 10 round group testing. I can see machine marks on the barrel as I could with the origional one. Since the barrel was replaced I have fired around 500 rounds through it. I am not trying to bash savage since I am the ONLY person I know that has had this much issue with a rifle. I am just a little shocked as to the barrel machine marks. If I can get it to eject properly I will consider a shillen barrel to make it shoot decent. Learning experience... cant purchase the cheapest rifle on the market and expect it to perform as well as one that costs twice as much. thanks again. [/QUOTE]
