Savage LRPV

[Perk]

I bought a Savage lrpv last year and the person who had it had a gunsmith cut the bull barrel to 22". It has a 12 twist . I can not get it to group with bullets from 55 nosler to 80 grain bergers. Will the barrel being that short keep them from grouping? Thanks Perk

A barrel that length is fairly normal in short-range BR shooting. I would check the fired brass to see if the chamber is OK and do a close inspection of the crown and make sure it was properly cut.

Have you tested some tried and true loads from the 6 BR section of this web site?

The crown look good no dings looks like 9 degrees. I can take the brass and neck size then and use then in my Rem 700 6br. The remington shoot 107 with Varget in 2's and3's. Thanks Perk

Take a look at the throat and the rest of the inside of the barrel with a Hawkeye bore scope and see if the problems are inside.
