My B-mag story. Bought standard one last year, and head space was off. Kept splitting cases and I sent it back. Upgraded to the bull barrel, mounted a cheap Vortex 6x18, and with Winchester $16.99 ammo it wouldn't group. Now, this was a rifle that grouped .75 in for the Savage engineers. Skip...

Oregon, I didn't mean to jump on you. If you read my first report, I had ammo that had tabs on the case mouth that stuck up. I did return the cases and rest of one box, and Winchester sent me $25. It seems that there are variables in ammo and weapon both. Tough to fix the problem with so many...
