Yesterday, I gave up on my M1A giving me the accuracy I need for a school I'm attending in a couple of weeks.

Today with the 110BA I used loads that wouldn't get more than 3-4 MOA with the M1.

I use a silhouette of a 2/3 sized black on white bowling pin as a target because the 100 yard county range nearby doesn't allow anything that resembles something alive (like people or animals) and the other reason I use it is because it closely follows the pathway of the human Central Nervous System... head, neck, chest :-)

Anyway, my first load was a 165 grain PSP with a starting load of 748 and after three zeroing shots EASILY kept all shots in the head, all under 1.5"... impressive.

I shot several 5 round strings and the shots started walking all over the page. The top rail was loose! There was a surprise. I would have thought Savage would locktite them down which I did tonight. Tomorrow I return with more ammo to continue load development. I am very impressed with this giant of a rifle.
