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
Bullet - 65gr Sierra Gameking
Powder - H4895
COL - 2.290
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.

Re: Off the shelf Savage and 65gr Gamekings
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.

This is a .223 my buddy bought and I am working up a load for him.
