Accurate bullets for Savage 12 BV SS
« on: July 22, 2005, 09:20:25 AM »
For the folks that shoot this rifle, I would like to know what is the most accurate match bullets you have tried in this rifle? I have just started working up loads and I have tried the 168 Hornady match and the 165 Nosler BT's . I know the ballistic tips are accurate and I loaded these for comparison to the match bullet. The BT's were slightly more accurate. Since this rifle has a 10 twist I am wondering if the heavier bullets might shoot better. Your experiences please.-Thanks--------vernonp

I'm assuming yours is .308 cal.?

I'm re-vamping loads for my Model 11 with the "new" Barnes Triple Shock and will let you know how that turns out. I'm trying for a combo 600yd highpower AND hunting load.
In my 11, Nosler BT's and Accubonds are the top shooters, with Sierra's matchking 168's a close second.
