223 SAVAGE /WT BULLET

[D. BETTENCOURT]

THINKING ABOUT A SAVAGE VARMIT RIFLE. BECAUSE OF TH 1-9TWIST RATE I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOU ALL HAVE USED AS FAR AS BULLET WTS TO GET SUB MOA. GROUPS.

WOULD LIKE SOME INPUT.

I dont have a specific answer for your question but will tell you that I own a savage 110 in 243 . It loves 100 grain fedral premiums but , will not shoot winchesters worth a darn , sprays them all over the place . So I'm sure you will find a specific load that works thru it even tho it wont shoot others very well .

First of all, check your "CAPS LOCK" key and make sure it is off before you post. All caps is hard to read and on the 'net it's the equivalent of SHOUTING.

As far as bullet selection goes, are you talking about factory ammo or will you be handloading?

I've had great luck with Winchester ammo through my Ruger. All that I've tried shoots sub-MOA. For weight I'd say stick with 55 grain or heavier bullets. 1-in-9" is pretty quick so it should stabilize all by the very heaviest bullets offered in .224cal., but it might overstabilize the really light ones when pushed to high velocities.

Remington offers premium varmint loads with Hornady V-Max bullets for the .223Rem, which should be very accurate. I shoot Winchester simply because I want the Winchester brass for handloading, but I've been impressed with the accuracy of them so far.

I shoot 50 gr. Nosler Ballistic Tips pushed by Hodgdon Varget powder in my Ruger VT in .223 Remington. Shoots like a dream!

I have a savage 110 in 22- 250. I shoot 50g winchester ballistic silvertips and get a nickle sized 3 shot group at 100yds.
