Never have put that load on paper but I bet it ain't too far off from the same kind of accuracy, just a bit higher at 100 yards!
In my Savage I get under 1/2" with the 69gr match but can't come close shooting 55gr or 50 gr bullets. Wish I didn't have the 1:9 twist as I bought the gun for varmint hunting.
