Off the shelf Savage and 65gr Gamekings

Post by ACLakey »

I ran some OCW tests today with an off the shelf Savage and here are some results.

Savage 11 with 3x9 Nikon Prostaff
Win Brass
CCI 400 Primer
Shot off bags

58F cloudy slight tail wind
100 yards

Bullet - 65gr Sierra Gameking
Powder - Varget
COL - 2.290

It likes 26.0gr

Bullet - 65gr Sierra Gameking
Powder - TAC
COL - 2.290

24.7 has potential

Powder - H4895

25.0 and 25.3 could tighten up with some seating depth or primer changes.

Not a bad start, the rifle shows promise. Savage rifles are fun.

what caliber are you shooting?
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.
