Mine liked anything. It was not picky. I know that's not helpful, but it might ease your mind a little.
I shot mostly the Hornady 17 VMax loads, as my Marlin preferred them, but the Savage shot 20gr.HPs equally well (though not quite as well as the Marlin shot the Hornadys). It was absolutely normal for that rifle to shoot under MOA, if it did worse, it was my fault alone. I gave that rifle to my buddy, because he NEEDED an HMR, and I kept the Marlin. Still have it, too.
