One of these days, I will break the factory load habit and stuff some hulls....but there isn't much real need.
This was among the first 3 shot groups I fired at 300 yards with the 120 gr Amax factory load. I fired another 3 and the group opened up, but still not bad for a factory load.
For reference the dot is 3".
Your shots are four (4)" low! The goal with hunting bullets is to hit right ON, to hit the game in a vital spot and not low!
The primary goal of a hunting rifle is to get the game. To HIT the game in a vital spot with the first shot and not to shoot 'groups'!
Savage I promise you I have figured out how to hit game animals, I was playing with the brand new rifle there.GHC...
Savage 99, you've been around here long enough to know who is an accomplished big game hunter on more than on continent. I believe BobinNH is one of those. I'd hate to try to out shoot him.
