What ammo are you using in your Savage MarkII BTVS

[spleify]

Just curious and trying to figure out what some of the most popular choices are for the Savage Mark II BTVS.

http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/MARKIIBTVS

I know all rifles are different just trying to get a feel for what has worked for others.

I shot 9 different brands today and out of all of them the Federal #810 Game Shok ammo seemed to be the best out of what I tried, I have heard a lot of folks talk about the Wolf match ammo so I am curious to see if anyone has experience with this or other ammo.

Thanks

Re: What ammo are you using in your Savage MarkII BTVS

what i've found to work the best out of mine:

1. wolf mt or extra / sk jadg standard or match (seemingly the "go to ammo" for most rimfires)

2. aguila rifle match

3. federal gold medal match (red box)

4. CCI standard velocity

5. rem subsonics (under 75 yards, then they get crappy)



on the HV side:

1. CCI blazer

2. winchester super x

My BTVS actually did fairly well with Federal 711B but I no longer own the rifle.

I shoot wolf target with great success, but honestly for half the price, cci standard velocity is right on its tail. But just a heads up, both of these rounds like it dirty out of my BTVS.

I have been pretty impressed with Federal Auto match for the price.


Good luck

For my BTV the various SSHP loads, the best being Winchester X22LRSUBA 40grn sub sonic hps.

CCI SV is good as well. Wolf was "ok", being consistent but having larger groups than the SSHPs.

My MII shoot Aguila 40gr SS as well as it does Wolf Match. Real quiet with my TacSol can.

CCI SV 40gr followed by Wolf Match Target 40gr for me. I always shoot my BTVSS suppressed.
