My daughter has a Savage Model 10 plain Jane blue/wood, blind box .243 bought new in 2001. Don't even know the twist. It easily shot Federal premium ammo loaded with 100 grain NP with sub minute groups. My cousin loaded us some 100 NP with a hot load of IMR 4350 which produces the same tight groups. Don't understand all the BC stuff but this load shoots dandy out of her 22 inch rifle. Has killed 22 deer at all kinds of ranges out to 300 yards (I know that does not qualify for long range) and bunches of hogs. If we can shoot 1/2 inch groups off a bag of corn on the truck hood y'all could probably really drive nails.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
