mine loaded with the match grade. Savage must have a sloppy firing pin to crater like that at lower speeds than other models. Anyway I live with craters and leave them cruise around 2900fps -142 smk. Very accurate round. We were shooting pop cans at 425 yds straight out the box with this rifle. They won't go through a 1/4 inch steel plate. The bullets blow up on contact.


It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
