Hello everyone, first time poster and my first savage rifle. Rifle is a model 10, predator max 1 in 243 win, with a leupold VX-2 6x18x40 scope. Loaded up some 87 gr hornady Vmax over H4350 powder and headed to the range today for some testing. Didn't follow much of a break in procedure but I did clean the barrel between every 5 shot group with Barnes CR10. Out of the 6 text groups fired today none were over an inch! Most were .750" and under. I would imagine this will get nothing but better seeing how these were the first rounds down the tube and the first powder/bullet combo I have tried. Needless to say I'm very impressed with my first savage!!!

Ran out of daylight before I could shoot remaining test loads.
