Savage Long Range Hunter

[Donnie Spradling]

I have ordered 2 Savage Long Range Hunter Rifles. One is a 280 AI 26 inch barrel with a 1:8 twist. One is a 6.5 284 26 inch barrel with a 1:8 twist. I am looking for handloads for these two rifles for hunting purposes out to 600 yards or so. So if you got a good one let me know. Please give me the COAL with your loads.
