I have a Savage 10 Stealth but in .308 Win. All I did was mount a small Nikon Monarch with Warne rings and install a cheap procomp brake and went to the range.
I tried some cheaper stuff to sight in close and break the barrel in. 150gr Fed Fusion mostly. It hovered around MOA or a little bigger.
Then I shot some ELD-X and Fed GMM and both shot ok. The ELD-X wasn't much better than American Hunter or Fusion. The Gold Metal Match was holding 5 shot groups around 3/4"-1". Then I tried some Nolser Custom Competition and they have by far been the load of choice for my Stealth. I have 3 and 5 shot groups from 3/8" to 5/8". Most around 1/2". Not alot of 5 shot groups but the times I have laid down 5, my groups don't normally open up enough to speak of.
I'm sure somebody else could shoot it better and handloading would probably up the consistency but for me and my lowly skills and for what I use it for I have no accuracy complaints with the Stealth.
