Jusy got a model 10 predator hunter with the accu-stock and max-1 camo. Does anyone else have the same gun? If you do what is your pet load for your gun? Trying to find a load without burning out the barrel. Thank's in advance for any info

It is the 1 in 9" twist, i guess that would help

...You could try the new 53gr. V-Max's.. Or a 55gr NBT 26.1grs of Benchmark Win brs. CCI-400's...

I have many Savages,

My 223 has a 1-9 twist and shoots 34-75 grain loads very accurately.

52 grain match bullets (Sierra or Hornady) or the (Speer 52 varmint)
IMR 4198 22.0 grains
any brass neck sized to your gun or new all the same make.
any primer CCI450 and fed 205m are my choice

shoots 2" 10 shot groups all day at 200 yards.

50-60 grain bullets shoot the best, like the previous post said starting new I would only shoot the new 53 grain V-max with the 290 BC
