[QUOTE="98dyna, post: 1673857, member: 89121"] Just got my Savage 110 back from the gunsmith after installing a X-Caliber .260 AI 24" SS bull 5R barrel non match chamber. Loads were in Remington 7mm-08 new brass necked down and blown out with Cream of Wheat in another barrel. 46.2 to 48.1 grains of H4831sc,+.5 grains ladder per 10 rounds, 140 SST's, 140 Amax's, 140 Barnes Match Burners. First 10 rounds cleaned after each shot then cleaned every 5 shots. Largest group was one of the first 1.492 with 2 in same hole SST's. 1 Amax group .543, barrel didn't like Barnes Burners for groups. Barrel likes the 2 hottest loads at 47.7 and 48.1 H4831sc at .355 and .253 3 shot groups, the same load my 26" Criterion SS match camber barrel likes. Within 30 rounds it was already putting 2 shots in the same hole at 100 yards. Once I get my loads dialed in I figure .250 5 shot groups, ain't to bad for a blind old man. Pleased with the barrel, a Made in Montana product just 120 miles from where I live. [/QUOTE]
