...and confirm the sight in on my Savage 116 FSHAK.
I had a variety of handloads, 150 gr. SMKs over IMR 4064, I 4895 and Varget and 168gr SMKs over IMR 4895, IMR 4064, Varget.
So I went to my 100 yd range (8 min from my home) with my new Win M70 and Savage 116 FSHAK.
Net, net, my new Win 70 w/ Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10x44 w/ Rapid Z800 shot 3 shots into 1 hole with 0.375 between the three centers using 43.0 gr IMR 4895 under 168gr SMK and CCI BR2 primers, while my Savage 116 FHSAK shot 3 shots into a group 0.5" w/ 47.0 gr IMR 4064 and 168gr SMKs.
Both look like useful Elk rifles...my next test is with my hunting bullets...Nosler 168gr BT, CT 168gr BST and 168gr Barnes TSX.
Shooting is the most fun you can do with your clothes on!
