[QUOTE="wbm, post: 1066637, member: 14158"] The Savage 300WSM is my son's. I reloaded it for him for a while and it was a solid 1MOA or better for almost all loads I tried. He doesn't shoot much except before hunting season so I suggested some factory stuff. We got a box of Federal 165gr Fusion bullets and went to the range. First five shots were a bit less than an inch so we kept shooting....bottom line was after 11 shots we were still within 1 inch. I quit reloading for him! He has used that ammunition for the past 3 seasons in Montana. It is very easy on the shoulder with the brake. The Criterion barreled Savage I have is very accurate in everything I have tried in it. I mostly prefer 140gr bullets in the 7mm. On a good day it is .50MOA on average. Some groups have gone into less than .35. [/QUOTE]
