Hello all
I am the proud new owner of a savage model 10tr. I have put a swfa ss 3-15 scope on it. I have some questions about this 5r barrel. I've read some things saying that it takes a while for them to reach their potential. Would it be a wise choice for me to buy some surplus ammo or some loaded ammo (I know of a company that sells ammo pretty cheap that he loads himself close by to me) and blast off a 100 or so before I start ordering 30$+ boxes of ammo. My plans with the rifle is accuracy and maybe some hunting. I also plan on moving to longer ranges with it once I get it all situated. I guess my question really is, should I go ahead and order some cheaper ammo for a bit and get the tightest groups possible before buying the good stuff.
Thank you in advance.
