[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1015422, member: 25383"] try Federal Supremes in something like 60 or 70 grains. Before trying the next box of bullets, loosen the action screws and re-torque them to 40 inch pounds in two or three steps. I've seen a lot of rifles thru the years that had loose action screws (all brands). Also check your scope bases and rings to see if they are tight I've never seen a Savage .223 built in the last twenty five years that wasn't a 1:9 twist barrel. Their 22-250's come with a 1:12 twist barrel with a 1:9 as an option. If you reload, seat the bullets to within .003" of the lands. I like BLC2 with 50 and 55 grain bullets in the .223 case. (27.5 grains with a Federal primer). gary [/QUOTE]
