Recently had a shaw replacement barrel put on my savage model 116. Changed over from 30-06 to 35 whelen. Used the barnes reloading manual with reloader 15 and a 200grain barnes tsxfb.

Test loads tightened up once i got up to 56 grains and 56.5 grains. 3/4 three shot group with 56 grains and 5/8 with 56.5. Pretty amazing with a 200$ barrel and the very first test loads. Cant be happier. The distance was 100 yards.
