    I put 15 Hornady through my Savage yesterday - didn’t seem to group too well at 100m - maybe 75mm - so I opened a new box of Winchester and put another 15 through it - grouped better - maybe 50mm - probably not the fault of the rifle or ammo - I need a lot more practice and a much better rest
    I saw your thread this morning so went back to the paddock and picked up the cases - just one neck split in the Hornady but seven of the Winchester split end to end and a couple of neck splits - not that I am worried - the barrel on that rifle is very heavy and the Winchester seemed more accurate
    It has fired about 50 shots now so I put a bore snake through it today - now that really had me worried - fark it was tight
