I have the Savage Model 25...I bought 2 cases of factory ammo when I first got the gun and I just barely got 100 empties to start working on a load...I'll let you know what I come up with after we load some...I have a friend that has been loading for his Hornet and he is having great results...I...
I own the same gun...It is absolutely the most accurate rifle I have ever shot...I have shot several groups that were all touching...I'm looking forward to working up a handload, however it shoots the factory ammo so well I don't think there is much room for improvement...I have shot everything...

I did some gun trading and ended up with a new Savage .17 Hornet...I'm excited to have one of these new guns, I think they will be alot of fun from what I have read...Only problem I can't find any ammo within 200 miles of here...I ordered a case online and it will be here Friday, but I would...
Muley, I did not know you were doing the NM deal this year...Did you get Lumpy to go with you??? You did good those Auodad are so cool...You will have to come by some time and see the mounts from my trip to Texas a couple years ago, I had Carey do the taxi and they turned out awesome...Later, L.T.
That is the kind of hunting story we all need...The memories that Ethan and all of those involved got from this will last a lifetime...Good job by all involved...Later, L.T.
I love stories like this...This is what we all need to focus on...Sharing our passion with family and friends...great story and a great buck...Later, L.T.
