[QUOTE="ratsnakeboogy, post: 3347333, member: 5933"] Knurling is rolling the bullet between to large Rosie O'Donnell files. It increases the bullets diameter and also let's it "grab" the sabot. Not hard to do. If you are using the Sabots supplied with the SST bullet that could be part of the problem. Find the sabots a few yards in front of where you shot and post a pic, that will get us on the right track. Some Savages had a problem with the front base sitting on the recoil lug causing a issue with mounting scopes. Some also had a problem with the front base screw being to long and bottoming out on the barrel threads before tightening completely. It's hard to see, being it's only a few thousandths difference. Find the spent sabots and we can go from there. I would also recommend harvestor sabots. I think I have an extra package you could have if we could meet in Oak Ridge one afternoon. [/QUOTE]
