I would think that if the jackets came apart, so would any accuracy.

That`s a question in my mind as well. If one shoots only jacketed bullets, shouldn`t lead accumulation be essentially negligible? Then again, I`m always in need of education on this stuff!

What, if anything, is noted to be particularly good at lead removal?

New scope and better trigger? No reason to think that Axis won`t continue to shoot great ( maybe even better! ).

Yeah, Savage sure has sold ( and continues to sell ) a ton of those " pigs " . No doubt a major contributor to that is the price point and . the sales that periodically come up at places like Cabela`s, amounting to the fact that a lot of folks can get a " bargain basement " rifle that`s proven...

Be sure and give us an update after a range session.

Well, in reality, unless things have changed, CCI and Winchester are the only two manufacturers of 17 HMR loads. Whether or not they tailor specifications for other brands ( Federal, Hornady, etc ) I really don`t know.

I wouldn`t hesitate to buy a CZ rifle in 17HMR, just based on input from people who know about rifles and the plethora of positive reviews. Having said that, I`ve come to really enjoy the 17HMR as a fun range gun. I have a " basic " Savage 93R17 with a Vortex 2-7 Crossfire scope that`s been a...

Bought a Vortex Diamondback Tactical, 4-16X40 FFP to go with my Savage Model 12 LRPV in .223 when I joined a club with a 500 yard range. 1,000+ rounds through the gun and no issues with the scope ( or gun ). Been very satisfied with both.

I`m not after tiny groups at 500 yards from my Savage Model 12 LRPV in .223, but I do want to minimize carbon buildup. Some folks on here whose advice I respect very much talk about the non-necessity of cleaning after each range session but I`ve decided to go ahead and soak the throat and first...

Yay!! Always feels good, at least to me, to verify that there`s not some inherent equipment problem ( broken or just plain bad ) and it`s something simple or that it`s the guy pulling the trigger.

I hope that the OP will keep us up to speed on how this progresses. I`m far from a rifle expert, but I would think that this is something we might all encounter at some point.

I think it`s probably more of a matter of what you feel comfortable doing. My rifles have " .223 Rem " stamped on their barrels. So, I choose to shoot .223 only. Could I shoot 5.56? In all probability yes. Would I have a little nagging concern in the back of my mind? Probably. I go shooting to...

LOL!! If I got overly upset every time I miss in a dove field I would have quit a LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGG time ago!

Yep, not white and a member of the Aryan Brotherhood.

Yep, not personally paying too much attention to weight since this would be a range only rifle. My Savage Model12 LRPV has got to be 12-13 lbs all up, but then weight`s your friend in bench shooting. Thing is an absolute beast but will flat shoot.

I`m personally considering the Bergara HMR line, probably in 6.5 Creed, for a 1K yard range rifle. That or a Tikka UPR. Really am enjoying my Savage 110 Storm and Model 12 LRPV in .223 as well. OP might want to take a look at the 110 Storm in .308.

Have seen nothing but good reviews.

This will be the third, that I know of, firearms manufacturer ( Bergara, Daniel Defense, now RemArms ) to set up shop in Georgia.

Lol, considering the numbers of both of those in use today, there`s a lot of truth to that!
