Savage Stealth Evolution .308 Ammo

[notacos4u]

ALCON,
I was wondering what everyone has found is the best ammo shot out of a stealth evolution? Brand and weight. Thanks and look forward to seeing what everyone has to say. Thanks Jim

Either the 168 or 175gr Federal Gold Medal Match

Agree. It is the least expensive also. Other companies make match ammo and some of it is real good but the FGMM in 175 will give you some smaller groups if you do your part at the cost of a little more recoil.

I have been having EXCELLENT results with this stuff: Magtech CBC 168gr Sniper MT308D BTHP

I shoot it a little better than my FGMM 168gr.

Its cheap enough to try out. Also, Tula 165gr shoots 2 - 2.5 MOA out of mine. Also, cheap to try, and what I load up for friends or people at the range who want to try out my rifle. :D

I hesitate to give you a bullet weight recommendation.
I find that my Savage bolt action .308 Model 10s with the same length barrel have different bullet weight preferences when it comes to accuracy.
One likes 150/155 grain bullets best and shoots 168s almost as well.
The other likes 175 grain to 200 grain bullets best, shoots 168s OK and doesn't shoot 150.155 grains as accurately.
Two of my range buddies with Savage .308s have also seen bullet weight accuracy differences in their rifles.

I personally consider the FGMM to be the 'gold standard' of factory ammos for the .308 and now you can get it with Sierra SMK or Berger bullets and, I think, even Nosler Custom Competition bullets.
Nolser Custom Competition factory ammo is also a good choice and Black Hills makes good ammo as well.

Just try different bullet weights to see if you rifle has a weight preference.

As others have noted, Federal Gold Metal Match tends to be a favorite.

The 168s are good out to 800 yards or so, 175s a bit farther, but some guns like one better than the other at moderate range - so you need to test.

I shoot PPU 168s often, but they generally do not deliver the same accuracy as the GMM.

Some have worked up loads with Lapua Scenar 155s that do very well at max range, but some rifles with 1:10 twist don't care for them.

Australian outback loads the 168gn smk and it’s very good.
