Using the Berger 140VLD, 45.5gn 4007 gave 2763, 1st group went 16mm, 2nd in some wind was 28mm, both shot at 200. I used a seating depth of around .040". CFE gave good performance with the 120NBT.

Sheesh those savages group well. That a factory setup? Looking for the same rifle at the mo. Have only found the 11's
