[QUOTE="budperm, post: 391987, member: 24294"] Howdy everybody! Just a follow up on my Savage LRH 300WM. Been to the range 3 times now and really just scratching the surface on load development. Friends from my Optics forum sent me a bunch of different weight bullets to try. It's a great idea and helps control costs some. We should try something like it here. Everybody shares there favorite bullets and weigths 20 or more rounds mailed to the interested party. I received 6 different weights to try without breaking the bank and having a lot of unsatisfactory weights lying around! Now back to the report. I tried 208gr AMax 200 gr NHP and 168 NBT. For the lightest bullet 168gr Nosler Ballistic tip I used Varget. Was surprised to see her group at just over 1 MOA using 57gr of Varget. For the 208Gr AMax I used H4831SC loading at 70.0 to 71.5gr in 0.5gr steps 5 each. The gun seems to love 208AMax cause all the different powder weights grouped below 1.5MOA and the 70.5gr load grouped at 0.675". 5 round groups. This gun has really grown on me! She has a very solid feel to her and with the break turned on she kicks less than my A-bolt in 308 and my buddy's Remy 788 in 308. The rifle has yet to be fed a round I wouldn't consider going hunting with at anything below 300yds. She is showing her potential and I am sure she will be completely deadly with a few different bullet weights out past 600yds. I am lovin it! The Savage LRH is definitely great bang for your buck! I got mine NIB for well under MSRP too! [/QUOTE]
