Simple question. What is the heaviest bullet that you've been able to get a FACTORY savage 1/9" .223 barrel to stabilize adequately without having the barrel puke the bullets at the target?

To the things that you are sayin' who do you thinks gonna hear
And if you should die explainin' how the thing they complain about
Or the things they could be changing who do you thinks gonna care

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Dr.KWhat's the Heaviest bullet a Savage can Digest ?. Well I'm not quite certain but after viewing the Old Movie ZULU the other night I'm guessing around 450-525 Grains out of those Ole Snider .577 caliber Breech Loading Rifles !?.

PeterI have a Savage 110FP. I recently bought some 77grain Nosler match bullets, but have not tried them yet. I will let you know!
Seafire, I like that picture! I think I told you that I had a cousin (RIP) who was a test pilot for these during WWII.

What is the C.O.L. you are using for the 77s? Do they work through the magazine?
Thanks

Yankee D..
Sorry I can't answer that right now...
I don't have any 77 grainers right now to measure them and my notes do not denote the OAL... like many of my handloads, I make a dummy round by pushing it into the lands.. and then backing of the seater die an 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn....
That is shot in my Savage 12 BVSS which I strictly single shoot, so I don't know if it can magazine stack them or not...It does have a long magazine....
Sorry I can't be any more exact that than..ya caught me 'out of stock' at the moment....
cheers

It took me a few seconds to catch that one!
My first thought was that Savage did not make Sniders!
That was funny!
