Savage 110 H-bar

tmaq2 · 04-22-2008, 10:22 AM

Recently I got back into shooting, and while making some adjustments to my rifle. I made a very nice bed for the barrel to rest in and took away a bunch of factory play from the stock and barrell's gap. Now that it's as tight as can be and the laser bore sighting has been done its at a sound ZERO. I feel as confident as I can be, but have a few questions........ With out loading myself, what is the best .308 manufactered round to fire?, what grain is best for this particular rifle?, or will the grain size not really matter much?

I have a model 10 and shoot Federal, Remington, and American Eagle, all in 150 gr SPBT. I also, on occasion, shoot 180 gr SPBT with good results.
IMO, the Remington Core Lokt 150 gr provides me the best accuracy with Federal Power Shok and American Eagle very close seconds. The 150 gr is a good all-around bullet weight for just about any purpose.
