Savage 10 FCP HS Precision

[Pughead]

My 1st attempt at getting my new savage dialed in.
the 1st 5 shot "group" with 145gr FMJ WWB.

The 2nd group is Speer 168gr HPBT projectiles pushed with 44.7grs of Varget seated at 2.8" using the brass and primers left over from pulled mil-surp rounds.

3rd group is the Speer 168gr, 44.7gr Varget seated at 2.8 in Winchester brass and primers.

Off to a good start but plenty of room for improvement.

Not shabby at all. I've been eyeing one of those exact rifles. I'll definitely be looking for updates to see how it goes.

I'll get the groups tightened up, just need some time and money!

Distance?

Distance?

100yrds

Great groups. Try 43 grains for tiny groups at 100 yards. But for 300 yards+, the 44.7 varget load is the better. You need bullet speed to counteract wind at distance.

JMO. But i enjoy seeing tiny 100 yard groups. For what they are worth.....

Www.fwrr.us is having a 300 yard prone match later in April. Bring that fine rifle an 50 rounds and play with us..

This is going to be my long distance trainer, after I get it dialed in at 100 I'll step out to 200 and tweak the load. I'm a ways off of having a consistent 300yrd round, let alone 50rds to burn!

I disagree. You are already there. Bring your rifle out and play with us.

No seriously I only have 10 off the good rds and 10 of the ok rds! Luckily I have 60 of the crap WWB. lol

Not bad at all, can't beat the Savage with the HS, I love mine.

Finally got a chrono ordered. Should go a long way to getting my rig dialed in.
