[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 361252, member: 17128"] Likes to jump means the bullet will not provide the best accuracy when loaded out next to or into the lands. If you load Nosler AB's or Hornady SST's they will like to be very long so that the chambered bullet is almost touching the lands. These will probably not fit in your magazine. I cannot tell you what profile the Savage barrel resembles. It's been years since I held one in my hands. The #4 Douglas profile from McGowan very closely resembles a Browning Stalker profile and fills the barrel groove in the stock very nicely with no gaps. Some enlarging of that barrel groove will be necessary but not much. That 26" barrel weighs 3 lb 7 oz. Factory 23" barrel is 2 lb 8 oz. This barrel did not want to fill the barrel groove in the B&C stock that my 7mm Rem Mag wears. If I had used this barrel on my Remmy, a gap about 3 " long would have been visible near the shoulder on each side of the barrel. So what I'm trying to say is a 6.5 WSM in a #4 Douglas profile is a good choice for your Browning SA with a Magnum bolt face. Good Shooting. . [/QUOTE]
