[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1996682, member: 112413"] Well Jud with the long bullets and short case length I can't go any deeper and have powder capacity. The powder charge is compressed at .040 to the point I can't go any deeper. Thats why I stopped at .040 off, I read your posts with interest about coming way back off lands and finding accuracy but with this cartridge I can't accomplish it. The gun is a good 3/4" gun as it is and that's ample for what I need.........problem is I can't accept that. All my guns shoot very well and I just like that, season is upon me so will keep it for back-up this season but I thought about it today and I will pull the barrel afterward and lean it in the corner of the gun room. I've got a line on a stiffer contour barrel in another cartridge so will screw it on this winter and start down another road. Charlie, Bill, JE, I will take your advice its probably spot-on, Jud would try your long jump idea if it was feasible. Will post up when I get things set back up..........anybody want a light profile 20" LW bbl in 260 with low miles give me a holler :) Dave [/QUOTE]
