This is a sporter 22" Savage; taking it after some does soon.
So going with some 100 gr. pills probably but do have some 90 gr Accubond.
First, this is the shortest throated factory rifle I havd seen. OAL to touch lands is as follows:
Hornady 100 gr. interlock 2.715"
Sierra 100 gr. Pro Hunter 2.650"
Sierra 100gr. Game king 2.665"
That is right. Load a Game King to SAAMI max and you are 0.060" into the lands. Never saw that before, but I digress.
Previously tried 100 gr. Game Kings 0.065" off the lands with H414 and groups were not stellar.
Powders on hand are H414, RL17.
If you have any input on 243 Win. loading, for this apication, please share!
