Dave Zimmerman with his Savage Rifle and .243 Accuracy Barrel Dear Browns,I was right, my .243 Savage "accuracy barrel" does shoot as good as it looks but that thing sure is finicky about being clean. I feel like I was lax in my cleaning process with my first 20 reloads but I learned my lesson, now I am 14 rounds into my second 20 reloads and the barrel really came to life, amazing what some decent cleaning will do! I am attaching a photo of just one of many excellent groups fired today, .335 is a mighty small 3 shot 100 yd. group especially in a 15 mph. cross wind! To compliment a new barrel I started off with a box of new Federal brass trimmed to factory specs. and chamfered in and out, the primer pocket reamed flat and loaded with a CCI BR-2 primer, for powder I chose 40.5 grs. of IMR 4350, my choice of bullets was Sierra 100 gr. spitzer flat base seated to where the bolt had just a very slight interference when closing. That was all I could do on my part an excellent barrel did the rest, and WOW did it ever. Enjoy the picture and good luck in your new building. Thanks again, Dave Zimmerman |
