I took my Savage 12FV .223 out to the range today to work on some 75gr BTHP Varget loads. I already found that this rifle is insanely accurate. I got some awesome groups using H335, but I wanted to see what I could do with Varget.

Rifle: Savage 12FV .223 26" barrel
Scope: Mueller 4-16x 50AO
Range: 100yds from a rest

5-shot group using the Hornady 75gr BTHP, Remington cases, CCI 400 primers, seated 2.250" and 23.5gr of Varget.

And just to make sure my rifle still liked the 55gr Vmax load of 24.0gr H335, a 7-shot group.........
