[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 1507054, member: 43573"] I just did a barrel swap on a stainless left hand Savage short action and turned it into a 22-250. I sighted it in with some factory Winchester plastic tipped 55 gr. ammo Then I whipped a set of handloads to test it’s accuracy. First batch, four sets of three rounds each, just changing the powder charge. Rifle started off with a .630” group, next batch just over an inch including a flyer but two rounds measured around .350”, next three went into .350”. Next batch, one grain below book max went .230”! Range 100 yds and the barrel is a 22” shorter off a stainless Axis rifle Color me happy! Three44s [/QUOTE]
