[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 996140, member: 59915"] The only thing I can say bad about my one Savage is, it will not shoot the bullet that I bought it to shoot. I had all intentions of shooting the 140 VLD hunting in this gun and no matter how hard I've tried I cannot get it to shoot this bullet consistently. I've talked to several people who do have great success with the VLD in their savages. I guess my particular rifle does not like them. Or perhaps the VLD is too picky for my reloading preferences. I shoot Nosler Ballistic tips in a lot of my other guns because they seem to tune easy and have great midrange accuracy. I picked up a box of those in 140 and this Savage loves them. At 100 yards it will chew out a ragged hole and if I catch the wind stable enough here it will shoot 1" groups at 500. [/QUOTE]
