[QUOTE="nateisw, post: 1102474, member: 44189"] I have a Savage 116 in 7mm Rem Mag, so not the same gun as you, but... I have noticed that during my range sessions my groups start to open up a bit. I attribute this to both the barrel warming up and myself flinching a bit the more I shoot (I know everyone else around here is recoil-immune, but being only a bitty 6'1" 225lb little girl, I don't like recoil at all). I have everything I need to start reloading, but I am going to shoot my remaining factory loads before starting to work up a load. My rifle actually didn't like Federal Fusions. For some reason, cheap Winchester silver box 150gr ammo always shoots about 1 moa and Winchester silver box 175gr shoots 1.25 moa for me from my gun (maybe give them a chance) I have tried multiple other factory loads from Remington, Federal, and a few others and gotten results anywhere from 1.75-2.75 moa. Your set up sounds solid, so maybe fire one group and call it a day, then fire another group the next day and see what happens. One thing I have noticed about my Savage 116 is the cold-bore shot is always dead-on. Don't know if it's due to the cold bore or me not flinching on my first shot of the day, but it's usually the first shot that counts the most on a hunt so I'm happy. [/QUOTE]
