Savage 116 FHSS 300Win Mag real shooter

[bullet]

I have settled on a load after much testing now. I tried this load with different primers to make sure. 165gr Sierra HPBT, 74grs IMR4350, Win Brass, CCI250 primers, COAL, 3.340" moving 3218fps (average over five 5 shot groups), Extreme Spread 22 and Deviaton of 9.47. Average group size of five 5 shot groups including flyers is 1/2" without flyers 1/4".

I believe I have not done my best shooting with this rifle. I am still getting use to it, plus, I know that my last three times to the range were not my best or what I really could do. When I settle back down with my shooting and get back into the groove, I will begin to eliminate these periodic fliers. Hopefully I will be going to South Louisiana this Friday and shoot at a range where I can shoot 300, 400, 500 and 600 yards. That should tell me if I have a good load and I hope my shooting becomes consistent and steady again. NO COFFEE FRIDAY MORNING, JUST A GOOD BREAKFAST WITH JUICE.
