Savage Axis .223 1:9 range report
I have been trying to get my Axis to shoot a bullet over 55 grs. I have tried 60's and 69's (all I had) and while decent 1" or so groups I can get 55's around a .5" and 50 grs under a .5". I really wanted to shoot these 69 Gr SMK's as I have several boxes
Getting more comfortable with the Axis .223
Went to the range again on Wednesday with my 55g VMAX reloads. Got groups of 0.6 and 0.8 MOA just laying the rifle on the range bag, no sand bags, lead sleds or anything like that. I'm getting more comfortable with the rifle and the two reload powder combinations (Varget & H4895) both seem to be right on for what I want. I really need to get out somewhere where I can stretch things out beyond 100 yards. I'll also be interested in seeing what change in POI occurs with a very cold barrel as this rig is going to my coyote poker this winter.
