nighthawk Report post Posted July 13, 2014 Gun- savage model 12 22-250 scope 6.5x20x50 LR vxiii varmit. Loading 50grain z-max with varget, 210m. I was pumped when I first got the gun and knew it had potential because it was shooting the factory Winchester right at 1moa at 100yrds. Pretty sure the winner is 34grains:) Last photo is factory win during break in at 100yrds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuntHarder Report post Posted July 13, 2014 Anyone else shoot more than 3 shots to determine initial group size? Do not mean to hijack thread, but I am thinking I shoot too much. I usually load atleast 6 rounds of each powder combo before I rule a group good or bad. As Casey stated, maybe you pulled the last shot on 36 and that would have been your best group of them all.

STOMP442 Report post Posted July 13, 2014 Given that rifle has a 12 twist a heavier bullet may work better. I have a model 12 and an axis that both shoot the 69gr Sierra Match kings into one little hole. 35 - 36gr of Reloader 17 pushed them right around 3350fps and seemed to be the sweet spot. Both rifles would hold half moa out to 800 yards. I know sierra recommends a 10 twist but the 12 seems to work just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done 3,4,5 it just depends. Normally I will revisit best groups and reshoot at 5 to 10 threw chrono as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
