[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1523769, member: 96226"] It can be a direction to look when troubleshooting. It's something especially likely to be an issue on one-piece bolt rifles like Remmy 700's and Winny 70's (so not Savages) but there is no definitive diagnostic relationship as a matter of broad generalization. Off center primer strikes certainly aren't going to help anything but they'd fail to help in a very consistent way so to say it would booger up the groups for sure would be speculative at best, particularly with a Savage. Now one-piece bolt guns, that I'd be talking to my gunsmith about since it would have apparently already passed QC from the factory. This is also a case where the firing pin may not be the thing that's not centered. It might just be the chamber. [/QUOTE]
