Loose fitting sabots just won't shoot a darn in my savage. The short black sabots are really tight in my gun, but the accuracy is there. I hope you'll test some 300grain Barnes MZ expanders. They seem to do really well with 5744.
Yes, that is what I think happen also, since the gun is suppose to shoot 1.5" out of the box. I have some Barnes TMZ 385g and some Knight Ultimate Slam made by Barnes 290g which I am going to test and try to work up loads with. I am just trying to reproduce what the manual says, for a bullet and load. I was a bit light on the load also, since they say 44g. I work at home mondayuntil 4:00, so I can get out at about 4 to shoot again. Will try the short sabots then. How does you gun do cleaning?Here is my patches, which I think is still pretty dirty.
