I tried some Black Hills 77 grain match ammo and the results were the same. The twist rate is 1:9 so I know the 77 grainers were a stretch. Has anybody else had problems with there Axis? Any ideas I haven't thought of to try?
Go to Savageshooters.com My son and I have a .308 and it was "so-so" but improved considerably after following the two fixes, trigger and stock.
