[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 515939, member: 10291"] I also thought that the contact with the barrel could have been intentional but have two other Savage rifles that had contact, but at spots along the sides of the barrel. They did not appear intentional. Before you set the barrel back, it might be a good idea to try a couple of other things as well. It could have been lousy tecnique but I had variations when trying to get good throat info pushing bullets into the case until I started using the Hornady Lock and Load seating depth tool. My measurements are now within one or two thousandths. I tested my loads using Berger 140's and Sierra 142 MK's. From in the lands to out 120. Best groups (under .5moa) were at 75 thousandths off the lands. In the lands to .010 out they were .75-1.0 inch groups. You didn't mention if you broke in your barrel. My velocities tightened up after about 20 rounds in the break in process. [/QUOTE]
