[QUOTE="Swifty, post: 797875, member: 42628"] I bought a savage Axis as primary night hunting coyote rig. I am a believer in the sierra 60gr HPs and mid west coyotes. I clipped the trigger spring so it breaks at 3.75lbs (still kind of squishy). I was surprised with the load I use in 60gr HPs, I can hold a 2" group at 400yds. I am in the .6s at 100yds. I used it in the WY Pdog fields and was having very good results with it at 300yds. The winds were playing havoc with it at 400 though using only hold over and hold off. I know I would have faired better with a dialer at 400. that being said, the Axis is a very accurate rifle in 223. I have also made some very accurate loads in Axis rifles chambered in 22-250 and 25-06. [/QUOTE]
