I built my first savage about ayear ago. i haven't had a lot of range time with it but I finally got a load that I think is fairly decent. It took a whole lot of trial and error but this is what I came up with. 40.8gr of IMR 4831, win brass and win large rifle primer, 2.76 COAL, 105gr beger VLD, 3 shot group was right at .235 at 100 yards at 2857 fps. I cant wait to get out and shoot it out to 600 now that I finally have a good recipe for it.
