    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    A PATCH will not remove copper fouling...only a good solvent and a good bore brush...a patch is for wiping/mopping up the residue and getting it clean...burn some eggs on a non coated bare steel skillet...are you gonna use a paper towel or a brush or nylon scratchy pad after a soak in Dawn and...

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    Definitely looks copper fouled...if it were me...I'd scrub the piss out of it and verify everything is locked down correctly and try some different ammo..and yes...the heavy fouling on one side of the barrel can affect accuracy...think about it this way...two good tires on the front, one bald...

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    While I have not tried it personally its my understanding that Fusion is GTG...if you can find some FGMM loclaly or online buy some...have not seen a Savage 308 yet that didnt like it...especially 175 BTHP

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    I said run patches until clean...if it takes 3 then fine...if it takes 8-10 so be it... Comparing your HAND LAPPED...EXTENSIVELY HAND LAPPED, POLISHED, HIGH DOLLAR PREMIUM ROCK BARREL to a stock Savage, probably badly copper fouled barrel is almost absurd...I was instructing him in how to...

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    Never had an issue...never had to replace a barrel due to a composite rod damaging a barrel...if your that freaked out about it a 12 gauge shot gun shell with the primer pocket removed makes a great bore guide for most heavy barrels, if not buy a bore guide... Also...I've probably punched 10-15...

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    What composite rod has enough metal in it to damage SS or CM barrel crown? Possibly if you scraped off the coating on a coated rod exposing the steel core...Or are you referring to the metal in the brush? Brass, brass wire and an aluminum ferrell that binds it together? The same brass wire and...

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    What? Wear a new bore brush out cleaning the bore or stroking it from the muzzle end? TRUE if your using a metal rod...DO SO ONLY WITH A NON METALLIC ROD...metal rod you work from the chamber end...you cannot damage the crown of a bore with a composite rod and doing so from the muzzle end will...

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    The Fusion is good ammo...look for some FGMM 175...seems like a common pattern that Savage 308 love 175...my Savage 300WM loved 168 and 190, hated 175...the Nikon is a good scope...sounds like you had some serious copper fouling, not uncommon with a new gun...and BTW I've never gotten a 150 to...

    Accuracy of relitavly new savage not that good

    I've owned close to a dozen now and EVERY ONE OF THEM was...a tack driver...all less than an inch, most towards a half...some that way with factory ammo... My advice...Buy a new bore brush and a good non metallic cleaning rod...some copper solvent...chamber a FIRED case...fill the bore with...
