Default RE: Remington and Savage Accuracy

I am a huge fan of Remington and they produce very good rifles...killed my first deer with a Remington 742 in .30-06.

My two hunting rifles are both Savages (w/o accu-triggers)...M116 in .270 and a M110 in 7mm Remington Magnum.

The M116 .270 consistently shoots 1-1.5 MOA with most ammo. Best is with the Federal 130 grain Hi-shok bullets (right at 1 MOA).

The M110 7mm Remington Magnum shoots sub-MOA with all ammo except Remington Core-lokt (about 1.25 MOA). Best is Winchester's Supreme CT 150 grain Ballistic Silvertip (0.5 - 0.75 MOA out to 300 yards...easily knocks over steel targets out to 500 yards)...I have a 3-9X50 IR mil-dot scope on top.

Second best 7mm load in this rifle is Federal Premium 160 grain Nosler Partition (0.75 MOA out to 200 yards...not tried beyond).
