Default Savage model 11 7mm-08

Bought a left handed Savage Model 11. Took it to the range with factory ammo, Remington Core Lokts. Gun definitely did not like factory ammo. Loaded my own, Hornday soft Pt 139 gr and 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip all rounds 2900-3000frs. What a difference! I had this gun shooting groups .41 measured from the outside of each hole. Basically 4 bullets one hole. Most of loads where acceptable but some were killer. This is the only rifle that I have owned that could handle such a variety of loads. Would definitely recommend this one.
