Has anyone on the forum ever done comparator measurements for either the Savage Model 12 F T/R or Savage Model 12 LRPV (223 Remington Models w/ 1:7 twist)?
If so, what have your measurements indicated as the approx. max COAL of 80/90 SMKs or 75/80 gr Amax/ELD-M bullets?
I am trying to determine if these Savage rifles will chamber the "heavies" at published COAL, i.e. max. 2.550" for the 80 SMK and 2.390" min COAL for the Horndays. I'd hate to put down $ on one or the other only to find out that they won't support loads for F T/R competition.
thanks, information and input most appreciated.
