WNY_Whitetailer Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 This is the first trip to the range with my new Savage rifle. I mounted a Mueller Tactical APV 4-14x42 scope on Burris XTR low rings. I am shooting Hornady 168 gr BTHP Match ammo out of her. You can see how I walked the groups in to the red dot in the center... The bigger squares are 1"x1". So, it looks like I have the shots in about a 1/4". I ran out of the Hornady ammo at that point or I would have tried a few more with that three shot group. I burned through about 30 rounds of ball ammo that grouped about 3" @100 yards prior to shooting the better stuff. When I start reloading for 308 at least I have somewhere to start.

wtnhunt Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 See real good results with 165 and 168 grain bthp's from my .308. Loading sierra game kings and getting cloverleaf groups at 100 yards. My rifle did not seem to like the lighter stuff i tried quite as well. The 150 grain core lokts did not group quite as tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY_Whitetailer Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm going to concentrate on that same area, 165-168 grains... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
