Why in a Savage?...because BH209 is basically a smokeless powder and no other ML barrel was tested to over 100k psi. Every Savage barrel is test fired and tested so it makes perfect sense for safety reasons.
It still confuses me. Why test it in a barrel that's stronger than what the majority will be using?
