Yeah, that danged 325! HA! I thought we decided to wait on Nosler to release the 220 AB's? :twisted:

I like this rifle so much I just may end up getting another in 22-250. I'm beginning to enjoy the lighter "kickers" at this stage of life a lot more than shoulder thumpers.

They certainly have a number of desirable cartridges they chamber it in, that probably makes it even harder I bet

I felt like my Sako .222 needed some brethren company in the safe and since I was so impressed with the Savage 243, I bought another Predator Hunter Max1 in 22-250 so, now they can share the safe side by side and I think I have enough .224 bullets to feed the both of them. Life is good.

That is the ultimate compliment to a rifle, buying a second one, congrats. I believe Savage uses a 1 in 12 twist on their 22-250's which gives you a bit more flexibility when it comes to feeding it.

From all I understand, the 12" twist should stabilize up to 60-65 gr bullets. The heaviest I have on hand are 55 gr Sierras but will try the 50, 52, 53 Bergers/Sierras I have as well.
I have a recent FN Winchester Model 70 in 270 and right out of the box it won't hold a candle to the Savage as for accuracy and it cost more-figure that one. After 3-5 shots it's laden with copper and I have to run some Bore Tech Eliminator and KG-12 through it followed by a dozen patches with KG-2, a mild abrasive. It's getting there but not quite as yet. No issues with the Savage 243.

As a matter of fact, that link is one of my tabs on my browser...looking at it yesterday afternoon. There's a lot of good info there. I got some info on the .243 from the same place.
