Reply With QuoteSavage has a lot of model 11 rifles. You don't say which one. And depending on model and twist it may or may not handle the 55s. Whether it's a good deal depends on it's condition and model.
I was looking at a Model 11 in .223 with accutrigger for $450 and wanted information about how it will shoot 55 gr ammo.
Are the results usually favorable or unfavorable? What gr bullet typically shoots best in them?

Each rifle wll have it's own preference, but they have a 1:9 twist so you should have no problems with 55gr pills. One of the 1:9's I had shot 50/52gr better though. Never tried 60+gr.

Twist is the killer on bullets.
So "will it work" depends upon bullet construction.
Dogtowns/Varmint nightmare = 240-260,000 RPM
Hornady VMax/SP's = 290,000 RPM
Sierra Varminters = 216,000 RPM
Sierra BlitzKings = 352,000 RPM
Speer TNT(low velocity version) = 240,000 RPM
MV * 720 / Twist = RPM
Basically you need to stay low velocity, or 55 grains and up.
I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.
..My factory BVSS likes Nos 55gr BT's just fine... ;D
I should say so! Wow!!! What was the distance?

Yea, old 1shot is our resident 1-holer. It doesn't seem like he owns a Savage rifle that wont do that.
We have a good thread going on this subject.
