Bought a Savage 12 BTCSS. Great gun! Shot it against my Colt Match AR, Krieger barrel, today. Colt won 2 of 4, but only barely with one tie. Four different loads, 77gr, 70gr, 65gr, 55gr. All 8 five round groups at 100 yards were sub MOA. Bipod front, sand bag rear. Raining, windy and 37F no less! Luck helps
I shot a 1/4” one hole group with the Savage. Colt can’t beat it, right? And then the Colt puts down a matching 1/4” group. Not expecting two one-hole groups, back-to-back, different guns, same load. All my 223’s shoots this load well, so I’m sharing.
Sierra 55gr Gameking #1390 BTHP over 22gr LT-32.
Federal or CCI non-Mag primer.
My OAL is 2.250” but don’t seem to matter much.
