[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1996515, member: 112413"] Sorry was focused on the twist as a possible problem, gun is fully tuned like all my savages. Rifle basic's 2 trigger, squared varmint action, match recoil lug, floated bbl with glass and pillar bedding, carbon composite stock with alum. bedding block. Have tried multiple powders, use lapua brass, and have moved OAL from .008 all the way out to .040 in very small increments. Varget and 4350 gave best accuracy but its not shooting like it should. I think its the very light profile of the short barrel, lot of two shot ragged holes and then a flier. I didn't want to think it was the tiny profile but if the twist isn't the culprit I believe it is. Barrel only has about 300 rounds thru it so I have to be content that its plenty accurate enough for deer hunting (1/2-3/4")and stop trying to get it to shoot ragged hole's. Thank You for confirming my worst suspicion.......The perfectionist part of me wants to take it off and replace with a heavier contour barrel. I tried to go too light with the barrel :( [/QUOTE]
