If a 17WSM isn't very accurate, and a 17HMR "Shoots circles around it," then doesn't that mean the 17HMR is LESS accurate?
What specifically is wrong with the 17WSM's that's causing the problem? I only know one fella with a B-Mag, he says when it feeds, it shoots lights out, just that it has a bit of a problem repeating. I'd be pretty surprised to hear the Savage is putting out rifles that aren't accurate, even if it is a new cartridge and new action.
