[QUOTE="GUN DOG, post: 1583570, member: 5944"] I would check & see what your twist rate is, I bought my vlp with a 1:9 twist to shoot heavier bullets & it shoots better than I do, just printed a 3/4 in group at 200 yrds with a 69g smk & varget. Also they come in a 1/12 twist. I have not been able to find any loaded 22-250 with a heavy bullet. If you reload you can try a number of combo's. I have had good luck with sierra 65 gr game king as well. My barrel is stamped 1:9 yours may be stamped too. Just checked savage web sight it's a 1:12 acording to this [url]http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/finder/[/url] If you reload try the 65 gr game king or 63 gr but to answer the original question 300 no problem 400 if you have a good bullet & accuracy [/QUOTE]
