[QUOTE="ssteel, post: 458701, member: 22936"] I rebarreled a Savage 110FP from 25-06 to 22-250 with a Shilen 1 in 8 twist barrel that I got from Midway. I have been very pleased with the accuracy with a wide range of bullets. I am shooting a mild load of Ramshot Hunter (35.3 Grains) at about 2950 FPS with a Berger 75 VLD touching the lands. My son and I have shot three whitetails with them this year ( one was my biggest buck to date) and they perform just as the larger calibers on game. Ranges from 90 yards to 269 yards. The Bergers and the A-maxs shoot to the same POI in my rifle with about the same degree of accuracy. I still need to do some more load development and push them a little faster and see what happens. I have also shot some 55 GR Sierra Game Kings and Barnes 53 gr TSX at around 3700 FPS with H4895 and they shot really well also. It shoots heavies and lighter bullets good so far, I was afraid it was going to spin the lighter ones apart in flight but the have been holding up so far. It is a fun rifle to shoot with minimal recoil. [/QUOTE]
