Ok. Here is shooting this AMwith 44g of weighed AA 5744, 300g XTP bullet, Federal Primer, MMP Short blackSabot, no swabbing. The barrel stayed pretty cool, I put water on it on shot 6 and 8. Here is 50 yards first 3 shots.



And here is 92.5 range finder yards, the next 7 shots:




Which is realy good shooting for me--usually I am 3" at 100 yards with a Omega and Disc with a 3x9 Bushnell 3200 scope. So the "error of my ways" was not weighing the charge the first 30 shots I shot out of the gun. Now to try some other bullets, since I have the Hornady dialed inOK with the factory recommended charge. Shots4,5,6 were touching.1.5" vertical group and 1.5" horizontal group, maybe a 2" group overall, I would say I am shooting 1.5" high at 100 yards. I am impresssed with the Savage out of the box accuracy with the recommended load, bullet and sabot.
