What twist rate is your Sav? Out of a 223 Rem, the 80's require at least a 1:8, preferably 1:7 twist.
It seems well proven that many cartridges could benefit from faster rates, with no adverse effects. Slowly happened in the 223, but others are still handicapped.

My .223 Savage (1-9") shoots the 80's passably well and the 75's VERY well, despite many people telling me that's impossible. Dunno what the spin is on the Savage .22-250's but one of my "someday" projects is a 1-8" .22-250. Woo-hoo!

Not to hijack the thread .....

... and a bullet designed for 1:9 twists is the 77gr Sierra. As to the 75's, for many it's the 75bthp Horn that will shoot in the 1:9's, but the 75Amax needs a faster twist. But certainly there will be rifles that shoot "on the edge" of what others say is an absolute.
But 22-250's normally run a 1:14....a 1:8 or 1:10 would be great!

Go to Steve's Pages. com. He lists several loads for the 80 grain bullet. He is a wealth of information. You need to add him to your favorites. He answers a lot of posts on reloading.
