Anybody else's Savage shoot best with "cheap" ammo?!

but a good topic, so I resurrected it......
I don't have a '110',but I have an axis II in .223. The gun likes cheaper ammo over the more expensive match stuff. I can get away with Hornady 'Frontier', Winchester 'White Box'.....even PMC stuff. I've tried some 1.25 to 1.75 per round stuff, not for this gun...... I don't plan to reload, so I'm fortunate....

Remington Core Lokt shot best in my first 270. It was the cheapest and nothing except my hand loads shot better. Go figure!

110 Storm in .223. Can`t say it " prefers " the cheap stuff. 55 grain PMC Bronze FMJ range fodder is pretty inconsistent with an occasional sub-MOA group but most 1.0-1.5 or so. Remington 55 grain all over the place. Frontier OTM in 55 and 68 grain will shoot consistent sub-MOA groups as will Hornady, Nosler and Barnes flat base hunting loads.

I won a 110 around 2005 in 270 that shoots the 130 grain Remington Core-Lokts into 3/4" consistently, and that's for five shots, not three. I hunt with Federal 130 grain TSXs, though, and they group around an inch for three shots, which is more than good enough for the hunting I do. It's the most accurate rifle I own, although I can't say I've thoroughly wrung out every rifle I own, but it's the one that turned me on to Savages. I currently own six (?), and have played with a couple others that I later sold.
