I picked up a Savage Predator in 22-250 about a month ago and after about an hour of cleaning the barrel today shot a few cartridges that came with the gun. Didn't like the fellows loads to good, about 1 1/2 groups. I loaded some 53 grain SMK HP with 40 grains of H380 and shot a 3 shot group of almost 1 hole. just a little ragged around the edge. I don't want to shoot SMK for predators so I'm trying to get out the cheap and easy way by asking what works for you in your predator.There is a lot of info in all your heads and I'd like to pick your brains on this.
