OK
Good groups.
Any idea why they specifically call them out to be "300 savage" ?
The "300 Savage" is even printed on the boxes of bullets ?
Thanks

Okay, for shooting it for the first time after zeroing it I shot about a 1.25MOA.
As far is why they call it 300 Savage I have no idea but definitely the 300 part is more than likely due to the fact 30 calibe 30 caliber bullet.

Here is the reply from Hornady.
Steve, thank you for the inquiry. The 150 SST for the 300 Savage was designed to expand at lower velocities than the standard 150 SST. I would not recommend using the 300 Savage bullet in the 308 Win or 30-06. They are not designed to be run at those type of velocities. I would stick with the standard SST bullet for the 308 Win on up. Thank you
Now we all know.
Thanks for the reply Hornady.
