i had the savage 220 & used the remington accru tips & had a leupold ultra slam on it man what a tach driver. also i also used the barnes expanders also also a excellant slug to use .the reason i switched from a mosseberg at that time . i figured ohio was never going to let use a rifle . so why not use the best out there . but really did i need to switch over . no not really. i did however take a nice buck with the savage set up @ 250 yards. i would keep what i have . if it kills them dead. stay with it & how often would you be using it .
