257 Creedmoor is a new Savage target short action and shoots Nosler 115 gr B.T. bullets great but so far the 131gr. Black Jack bullets at 100 yards i have not got them to shoot consistent yet ,i have tried 3 powders so far including the powder Black Jack recommended . maybe i got a poor batch of bullets ?i plan on doing more testing when its warmer at farther distances.

as of right now i am very impressed with both rifles with 115gr.Nosler B.T. bullets.


i just cried ,Pete when I read you disassembled a Remington 30 Express.. even for a Roberts barrel on it..

you aren't talking a Remington 30S chambered in 30 Remington Are ya?

That rifle and a Model 54 in 30/30 are my two holy grails on rifles on my wish list in life...

I mean a Roberts is a great choice. for a rebarrel...but...

kinda like seeing a vintage 68 Z/28, sitting rolled in a ditch, that was put there by some 16yr old like David Hogg, when grandpa gave it to him for his first car...life ain't fair some days...
