savage tiger shark

Just picked up a 204 in the savage tiger shark and would like to get an idea on what weight bullets this fellow is pobably going to like. 26 inch barrel, 1 in 12 twist

NICE RIFLE!!! That is a different look alright. Try the 32 gr. bullets to start with then work your way up. Do you reload? If so, the 32 gr. Sierra BK's would be a good start and most 1:12 twist rifles will also shoot the 39 gr. Sierra Bk's very well. I guess it depends on what you're going to be shooting at. For target shooting the 35 gr. Bergers are hard to beat with Benchmark launching them. When you get around to the 40 gr. bullets it's a crap shoot. Some rifles will shoot them well and some won't. Different brands of the 40's makes a difference also. My rifle will shoot the 40 gr. Bergers but it doesn't like the other 40's available.

Thanx skipper, I reload and have a 204 already so I have most powders the 204 can use, but I haven't tried berger bullets yet, so that is going to be some bullets that I don't have that I will be trying once it warms up a bit. Got about 100 rounds through her and still trying to get used to the accu-trigger. I have a cz in the 204 and love the set trigger on that girl.......

I would go as fas as to guarantee it will shoot the 39 BK and 35 Berger extremely well.

I've been eyeballing one of those in .308.

DON'T shoot the 35 gr Bergers.....if you do, that will be ALL that you buy.
