Re: New guy check in with 10pc
photobucket will be your best bet with the photos. You'd also be better off finding a chrono locally as differant barrels/powders/environmental conditions will affect your velocity. My 10pc loves 168 AMAXs

Re: New guy check in with 10pc
My 10PC wouldn't group the 178 A Max very well but really liked 175 SMK's with 43.5 gr of Varget seated to 2.81 oal.
YMMV

Re: New guy check in with 10pc
Welcome and congrats on the new rifle. If it shoots as well as mine and some of the other savage rifles on here you will be more than pleased. Some guys have had a hard time getting those 178s grouping well. Try the 175 SMKs. I have also used the 155 A-max with good results.

Re: New guy check in with 10pc
Thanks Guys!
I will be using my M1A load of 43g W748 and 168smk to break in and fire form some brass. I will order some 168amax and 175smk to work up my varget load.
Next question, I have been using NATO Austrailian headstamped AFF brass for my M1A and L1A1. This is my first atempt with a bolty but I built,load and shoot sub moa with my AR variants.
What do you think about the AFF brass and the bolt action for sub moa loads?
Thanks again for your replies.

Re: New guy check in with 10pc
I have had good results with Savage 10 PC, shoots 3/4 MOA pretty much all day and sometimes groups dip below 1/2 MOA.
One thing to note is that my 10 PC has a really short throat so 175s get loaded kind of short.
For 168gr bullets I use this recipe
168gr SMK
42gr Varget
Hornady Brass
CCI BR2 Primers
2.800 COAL
AVG 2450 fps
For 175's
175gr SMK
44.5 Varget
Lapua Brass
CCI BR2 Primers
2.770 COAL
AVG 2675 fps
