    As said the Savage is 1:9, some of them stabilise the 75 Amax for longer range antics but mine doesn't like them. The 75 BTHP and 77 SMK are both shorter than the Amax and stabilise a bit easier but I haven't tried them in mine.

    1:9 is Ok for 55gr though right?

    It's all in the ammo Using Hornady training it never missed a beat Cheap steel case tried it didn't like it
    I used three rounds then went back to the training ammo never had another problem. Sorry VC I didn't even think about researching it ..

    Yeah no problem. Plenty of people using 50gr in Savages with good results. Even the 40gr I suspect would be ok.

    Haha, hardcase, the training ammo is the only cases I have had failure to eject with my Howa, they always extract but the odd one just ends up lying there loose and I have to clear it with my hand.

    Interesting... Maybe cause I had never used one before but I borrowed a savage in the states for coyotes and I hated the accu trigger. 20+ rounds and just couldn't get used to it.. I reckon that unless I had it in all my rifles I would struggle. But that's just my opinion

    Which ever feels the best for you as they are both in the same class for reliability. You pays your money you takes your chances.
