Thats not necessarily a sign of over pressure. You may have a firing pin hole that needs bushing.
Seems like theres been a few people having bad times with accuracy in savage factory rifles recently.

David,
The super v at 300 meters is 0.4 moa or 1.4 inches in diameter, the central bullseye 0.8 moa or 2.8 inches in diameter.
Measuring your moa from a plot sheet is a pretty rough estimate. To class a rifle as a 1/4 moa rifle can not be judged from one shoot. We shoot 10 shot matches and therefore need to include all shots.
Sounds tough I know but that is the way it is.
However, it sounds like your omark does have some potential. Keep going, you will get there.
Cheers
Danny

Don't get me wrong - no braod claims here, I am just making comparisons between the results I was getting with the Savage compared to the Omark - ie same day - all shots within an hour, same weather, negligable wind, with experienced onlookers. As a 'newbie' I have a few experienced people watching over me and they were just as incredulous with respect to the wide gulf in results between the 2 rifles.
Cheers

The primers on the factory ammo are not cratered! (being gold in colour they are obviously different primers) No idea if that changes things.
