Yes sir, I understand that each firearm has it's own personality, but there are often similarities as well. I'm just looking for a starting point before we go buy 1 box of every type ammo manufactured :-( I'm just wondering if anyone with a Savage has a particular bullet that shoots well in...

My daughter just bought a new Savage Model 111. Can anyone with a Savage tell me which type of factory ammo it tends to shoot the best? Thx!!

Very nice card Altitohunter !!

Thanks! So that's how it mounts … very cool (y)

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks! Appreciate the info. Very interesting set up, sounds like it works very well.

Yeah I agree. So your bi-pod uses a magnet? Wow, that's different. How do you like that?

"Thrown away" … man that's cold

I put some old ones on top of the TV cabinet with some Christmas lights. There a moose, couple of caribou, mule deer, whitetails, pronghorn, etc.

I'm just using a bog-pod. I don't want to add weight to my light rifle with a bi-pod and the bog-pod can double as a rest for bino's and/or spotting scope.

That's what my Dad always did. Now he's gone but I still enjoy reading the info on the back.

Here's the info on my .28 Nosler: .28 Nosler 8 lbs with scope McMillan hunter stock with ultralite edge technology Proof Research Carbon Barrel Bighorn Action / Bolt Model SR3 Trigger Tech trigger Hawkins Precision Obenrdorf bottom metal with mag follower Watt?s Outdoor Mag box March...

I'm using the same barrel on my .28 Nosler and my gunsmith thinks I should be able to run about 1,000 rounds through it before I start seeing any degradation.

Yeah, it seems to be working very well so far as my groups look a lot like yours. I'm going to mess around with some different powders but just for fun. My groups can't realistically get very much better … not with me shooting them anyway. :rolleyes:

Currently using Berger bullets. I've killed a black bear and two mule deer with the 195gr EOL Elite Hunter. It groups very well and hits hard … all three animals literally dropped in their tracks. I'm still reloading to see what the gun likes the best.

Good deal. I've heard those big bears sometimes come to the sound of a rifle and things can get pretty dicey. Glad you didn't have any issues. That sure is a nice Sitka Blacktail !

Very nice rifle!! Congrats I too built a .28 Nosler with my gunsmith last year (posted about it previously). The main difference is I went for less weight … barely 8 lbs with a March scope. Looks like they both shoot very well … it's a great caliber.

Nice buck !! Did any of those big bears try to take him from you? :oops:

"There's the law, and there's what you know about your kids. Go with whichever number is highest." Great way to put it !! (y) I'd say you pretty much summed it all up … and I definitely agree with you.

Dang that's a great bull !!! Congrats !!!
