Not loading for it yet, but have all my stuff together. I just have to make the time to do it. I have Rotumbo and Reloader 25 to try. Going to start with 180gr Noslers and see how it goes, when I get around to it.

I will be trying some R22 with 180 gr Nosler Accubond & Seirra GK & Partitions

What primers will you try?

 

[midcountyg]

I have Federal magnim primers in stock at the moment, so that's what I will be trying at some point.

Well this gun is a shooter at 100 with factory ammo.

I had a box of Remington 180 gr partitions i needed to shoot for the brass. 3 shots were touching..very happy to see that. I cracked 3 shots off at 200 and shot a 3" group, i still need to practice my trigger pull and get used to the gun.

Got the brass all cleaned and will be loading this week.

I will post results as i go.

Any of you feel i would get better accuracy with the muzzle break off. This Savage has a turnable on/off muzzle break.
