ML-II XTP300 & N120 at 58 grains
Cost per shot (USD):
MMP short 50 @ 7.50 = $0.15
XTP 300 50 @ 12 = .24
Primer 100 @ 4 = .04
Vit N120 .21
Grand Total = $0.64
7,000 grains per pound ($25) = 120 shots per pound
Great load in any one of the 3 Savages I've been shooting.
Savage #3 is my cousins and he wanted me to get it ready for deer. I usually zero at 100 and then shoot enough to know where the bullet is at 50, 150, 200 and 240 (run out of land before 250 yards).
Zero'd at 100, I was getting 9" of bullet drop at 200. That's the same as my synthetic did last year and exactly what I was expecting. Here's the mystery:
Cousin wanted the gun zero'd at 200 yards. No problem, but then when I shot at 100 yards, it was 5.5" high 2 times and I am sure it would have been the same if I did it 5 more times.
Can anybody splain this?
