Shoulda...
See what happens when you decide to "try" something out because of stuff you've heard or read...
I did the same with a Savage in 270 WSM. The thing wouldn't shoot for $hit, and after $200 or so of load development later, would only shoot a 1.25" group at 100 yards...So much for Savage being accurate for me...I shoulda stuck with Remington or Winchester...
