I took my new Savage to the range today. I took several kinds of bullets.
40/50 260grn Dead Centers
300grn MZ Expanders
250grn XTP'S .452 #45200
250GRN ShockWaves
Boy is this gun a ***** to load. It was easier when the weather was warmer. I cannot load the MZ Expanders in this gun with the supplied sabots. I mean forget it. I need to use the HPH 24'S for this bullet. The 250grn XTP'S are hard to load as well. I need to use Harvester sabots or HPH 24'S with this bullet as well. The Shockwaves were extremely hard as well. The 260 Dead Centers load really nice in this gun.
I cant seem to get this gun back to were it was in October. I remember touching some holes with the 250grn xtp and Harvester sabots. :? My average group size today was like 2 1/2 inches. Nothing special at all. I havent shot many rounds thru this gun yet.
What do you guy's reccomend for a really good bore scrubbing besides Hoppe's? I really think i need to scrub it down good. I was shooting 5744 today to start with. I switched to 4759 with no better results.
