[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3054196, member: 15054"] I went to Lexington yesterday very windy and shot my newest .308 savage 18" barrel SR model with accutrigger. 100 yard shooting. Lapua cases Good old IMR 4064 and 168A-Max. And today I went back to test cases out with the 42gr load and forgot my bolt ...Yep just cleaned the gun and left the bolt on the shelf. That 3 shot 42gr load .210" center to center. 43 gr load .390" center to center. It actually shot lower and to the right. Barrel whip. I did take 2 Savage Axis rifles in .223 today one is the SR which is suppressor ready (Barrel is threaded.) The other is regular which actually has a thicker barrel by just a tad. 3 shot groups for the .308 3 and 4 shot groups for the .223. The thicker barrel .223 shot 60gr v max handloads into .700" center to center and another load with 55 v-max into the same .700" center to center. The SR .223 shot the same 55 gr load into .740" group. I just stuck the scope on it today. Those should be good enough to hunt with. I have killed deer and hogs and other critters with all the above loads. [ATTACH=full]109568[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
