[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 754102, member: 2460"] below is a post I found dating back to '04 when I was messing with the ol' Warbird... It is a helluva cartridge if ya like fast 30 cals, got into some trouble on other forums , seems some guys had a hard time believing a Warbird was capable of such fine accuracy and velocity... the case for the Warbird is very well designed and ya can't "improve" it with any substantial gains, better left alone as it is very conducive too excellent accuracy... the only shortcoming this cartridge has in my view is highly expensive brass that did not last more than two firing when pushed to Lazz posted velocities, if you keep the horsepower down to 300 RUM velocities your brass should last 6-7 firings or a few more... BUT that was on the old batch of brass, I hear that Hornady is making the new stuff and it's supposed to be a lot better, I never had the chance to use any of it.... I will look through all my crap and see If I can locate some data for ya . #20 07-19-2004, 06:16 PM Swamplord Bronze Member Join Date: May 2004 Location: Alaska Posts: 93 Re: Best factory rifle accuracy under $1400US -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've no experience with the Savage rifles, can't comment on them but do hear a lot of good reports on accuracy from other shooters. My best shooting factory rifle to date is a Sako TRGS, (out of box, zero mods.) Using 180 grn. 30 Cal. Accubonds I finally achieved that elusive "one holer" at 100 yards, with most groups under 1/2 ". Considering the fact I'm sending them downrange @ 3520 fps with the 7.82 Warbird that has nearly 1000 rnds. through it, that is stellar performance,it's a tough combination to beat. Rifle cost $850.00 U.S. several years ago. [/QUOTE]
