Default Off the shelf Savage and 65gr Gamekings
I ran some OCW tests today with an off the shelf Savage and here are some results.

Savage 11 with 3x9 Nikon Prostaff
Win Brass
CCI 400 Primer
Shot off bags
58F cloudy slight tail wind
100 yards

Bullet - 65gr Sierra Gameking
Powder - Varget
COL - 2.290



It likes 26.0gr

Bullet - 65gr Sierra Gameking
Powder - TAC
COL - 2.290



24.7 has potential

Bullet - 65gr Sierra Gameking
Powder - H4895
COL - 2.290



25.0 and 25.3 could tighten up with some seating depth or primer changes.

Not a bad start, the rifle shows promise. Savage rifles are fun.
