savage 12 1x7 twist 223 loads

[chevytruck_83]

thought I'd start a post for people to lists what works for their savage 1x7 twist model 12"s. every heavy 223 load post I read online gets jacked by an ar shooter. so I thought I'd help us get some loads together. what are you all using? I'm looking to see what works well with tac powder since I just picked some up. I've had good results with r-15, 4064, 4895. ill post more specifics when I getback to my log book. thanks ahead of time, Nick.

best group- 80 grain nosler custom comp.
1.975 to ogave using hornady tool.
24g h4895 powder
lapua brass neck sized
cci primers

.5"-.75" group- 75 grain hornady Amax

its funny u say the 52grainers shoot well. I shot a couple just to warm up the barrel and they shot well in mine as well. another load I found to shoot well is
nosler custom competition 77 grain
imr4895 24.5 grains
cci primers
1.962 to ogave using hornadys comparator.
