What loads are y'all shooting in your savage smokeless. I'm shooting parker be 300gr with rl7 not really grouping great. Thinking of trying n120 and experience with that?

I will give that a try. I bought a box of Barnes originals and orange mmp sabots one of the 2 should shoot well.

How is the accuracy on these Savage smokeless rifles?
Really good. They can be a little finicky to get the load right but once you get a load worked up it's like shooting a rifle. I've taken several deere at 250 and 300 with mine. 300 gr Barnes original orange mmp sabot and rl7 I was shooting 1in groups at 100
I ran out of Barnes and switched to Parker bullets with same powder load as Barnes and it doesn't shoot quite as well but I have everything to dial that back in. I'm going to try vv n120 with the parker BE bullets and black mmp sabots. But I also have a box of Barnes original bullets and orange mmp sabots with rl7.
