[QUOTE="NW Hunter, post: 1092869, member: 23024"] Thanks for the ideas guys. They are appreciated! Hotolds442, I did try .070 &.080 off lands and they shot .678" and 1.21". Not good . My max velocity test showed 58.8 gr Retumbo had flattened and cratered primers, but the bolt cycled fine with no stiffness. Two shots were side by side and the third was 1.3" away at 10 o'clock. This was the day I realized the barrel nut had come loose. My Magnetospeed did not give me a reading. The load below, 58.5 gr., gave 2994fps with flattened primers, but no cratering and no stiff bolt. I did not have a higher load to shoot that day, so I have not found max load I guess. I never thought about my rest as it has served me well with my 300. The McMillan Varmiter stock probably is more forgiving than the Savage accustock. I will look at my options. [/QUOTE]
