Joe came to shoot his Savage 30-06 That we had tried 3 different cast boolits in with 4350 that could not hold paper. I loaded more with 24 gr of 4198, 150, 173 and 187 gr. These shot very well down to 1-1/2" at 100.
We tried 4350 with Jacketed 165 gr bullets with the load of 57 gr that has worked perfect in every 06 I ever shot but it totally fails in this gun as do all the factory loads he has tried from 150 to 165.
Somting wong so I will have to study his rifle.
I took my old Swede down and shot a .345" group at 100. Batteries are dead in camera but will get a picture.
He offered me his new gun and a fistful of cash in trade but nobody will ever get this one. Made in 1919 and shoots like a BR gun.
Anyone have bedding problems with the newer Savages? I don't like the recoil lug that plugs in.
