In general Savage 308's shoot very well. I have found that the 10 twist Savage barrels shoots the heavier bullets better than the lighter bullets. 155's being on the light end and 175 or 180's on the heavy end. Anything heavier and you are loosing ground. don't waist your time with NATO AMMO if you want accuracy. I have seen factory barrels shoot 1/2 groups consistently with hand loads. If it does not shoot well let the members here help out, if that doesn't work call Savage.
