I guess I forgot to mention the accuracy issue in my earlier post. Like all rifles, they are individuals. Can't relate to accuracy from factory loads because I can't remember the last time I shot factory rilfe or handgun ammo. But I have 2 different 7-08s and although both are accurate rifles, they are so with entirely different loads. My Browning likes the 154 gr bullets while the Savage eats up the 139 grain weight (both Hornady). Without referring to my reloading notes, I believe they also prefer different powders.
