well i founf the ammo for my savage 93GL.
i picked up a afew boxes of CCI Maxi-Mag, and they were great!
the difference was night and day. i'm down to 2.5" groups at 100 yards, not bad.
as long as the rifle continues to like the ammo through the break in process, i'm sticking with it.
thanks for all the help....
i hope this thread might help others when looking for ammunition for their 22 mag as well.
