[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 697867, member: 15748"] Hi Eric, Couple of quick questions here; first, you're sure that the stuff is original milsurp, and not some that has been remanufactured? Sorry, just had to ask right up front. If so, and you've got genuine M118 Match ammo, it's pretty good stuff in most guns. We used to break the asphalt seal on these by seating the bullets another .020"-.025" or so, which generally helped accuracy just a bit. It may also address the interference issue with a short throat, if that's the problem. A word of caution goes along with this, as deeper seating and a short throat both are potential factors in increasing pressures. Still, there's no reason that this ammunition shouldn't be compatible with your rifle. I'd suggest a call to Savage, just to clarify anything different about how they do the chambers or throats in their factory guns. [/QUOTE]
