good replacement for 105 amax

[scatterbrains]

Looking for a good bullet for my savage 1:9.25TW barrel been working up the 105 amaxs but cannot find much available.
Been looking at the 95gr smk's for a replacement. Ill be using Ramshot Hunter
Will be shooting from 100-1000yds.

What kind of feedback can you guys give me thanks.

Not really sure what you are using it for, but 107 smk?

both of those require at most a 1:8tw. I'm running a 1:9.25 two factory barrel

I run the same twist in a factory R700 varmint, 105 Berger VLD's shoot a little better than the 105 A-Max in my rifle while sharing the same powder charge and the 107's would stabilize but I never got the accuracy I saw with the 105 VLD or A-Max. I started shooting them seated into the lands (VLD's) but also found that they would shoot just as well jumping from a little shy of max mag length in the internal mag box.

The 105 Bybrid stabilized just fine in my 6mmREM with 1 in 9 1/8 twist., not sure if that extra 1/8 would make a difference or not.

I'm shooting a stock Rem700 barrel (9.125 twist) and I found the 105 Barnes Match Burner to be much easier to get to shoot over the Hornady BTHP. I am new at rifle loading, though, and have not tried many powders or seating depths. I stumbled onto <.5 MOA groups with the Barnes and decided to leave good enough alone.

That bullet shoots great in my 6 Creed, Ive got several hundred of them. Seat them about .005" off the lands.
