Thanks very much for the information!

Hopefully I'm not the only person to lose one, but I did... I haven't even looked at it for around 15 years. I know they are out of business and I am also aware of the new 209 plug. I am in a state where you aren't allowed to use the 209's. I thought that when I was looking a couple of years ago...

I had to put around 100 rounds through mine before it started shooting. It'll shoot 1/4" groups all day long now.

I posted a week or two ago about this gun and thought I had everything worked out, I guess not. I loaded 25 shells for the gun last night, today when I tried them in the rifle for fit the bolt was a little tight. When I ejected the shell the bullet was rubbed on one side. I tried three shells...

Hey, I use 140gr Berger VLD hunting bullets, 49.3grs of H4350, CCI BR2 primers, and Lapua brass. I have my bullets .120 off the lans for a 3.07" oal. I tried it with all of the berger suggestions and this is where my gun liked them the best. They shoot at 3040fps which is great for me and will...

I received my Lapua brass yesterday. I prepped 20 rounds and loaded them. They took almost no prepping, they were ready to go. I couldn't believe how nice it was to work compared to the Hornady and Remington I've been using. The Lapua went through my sizing die like nothing. You ought to give it...

Maybe I should do that with my predator 22-250 also. Mine will shoot .75" and I always thought with it being a 224 caliber it should shoot a little better. I have 5 Savages and I love them all.

O.K., no moe problemo. I filed the forend of the stock today and went to the range. I had about 6 different sets of bullets loaded to try and settled with the 140gr VLD with 49.5grs of H4350, BR2 primers, and Lapua brass. It is 3080fps avg and my BIGGEST group was just under .5", the average was...

Great, thanks for the info. Seems to be the same problem. Tomorrow I will clean it up and try again.

Sounds good, that's the direction I will go. Thanks for now and I will let you know how it goes.

I have a Savage 111 LRH that did the same thing with Hornady brass. After about 20 rounds through the gun it quit. I think it is a case of not so good brass. I have some Lapua on the way so we'll see. I had the same thing happen with a 700 300 RUM about ten years ago, it never got better...

I took the gun out to look at the forend of the stock. I cannot slide a dollar bill the front. About 1/8" to 1/4" is touching the barrel. Should I take the stock off and dremel it?

The gun is a model 111 lrh. I don't have a complete barrel break in, I only have 35 rounds through the gun. I use Hoppe's #9 to clean my barrel. Also when I shoot, I shoot one round, wait a minute or so, so on for the first three. I then wait upwards of 20 minutes to do it again. I will take the...

My first three rounds for the last three days have grouped under an inch, then after I get a little heat in the barrel it all goes to hell. I am using handloads, 49 grs H4350, 130 grn berger vld hunting bullets, Fed 210m primers, Hornady brass completely prepped which I don't like, I have some...

Hello, I'm having a problem with my new savage in 6.5x .284 Norma. I have only been able to get it to group for the first two to three shots. I've changed my loads, changed my scope, I don't know what to do with the stock.... I went to the range today with a new scope and my first three shot...
