Most Savage rifles don't disappoint in the accuracy category. Godspeed to you and thank you for your service.

I have a boltgun with 223 chamber and AR with 5.56 chamber both of which are 1x9 twist. Both of them shoot from 50 v-max all the way to 75 hornady bthp without any problems. I haven't shot the 77's and I haven't tried the 75 A-max in the bolt yet, and won't try it for the AR since I don't want...

Savage makes the model 11 in a left-hand 25-06 with laminate stock and accutrigger. Weighs in at 6.5 lbs so it should be a good carry rifle. Estimate cost to be about $450.

I have a Savage Model 16 Weather Warrior in 204 Ruger that is a tack driver. You might consider this model in the 223 or 22-250. It is light between 6.5 and 6.9 lbs depending on the specifics ordered. It has a stainless 22" hunting contour barrel and has accutrigger and accustock. I really...

Should not be a problem. I usually shoot 24g of IMR 4064 with the 69 sierra or nosler. You should be good to go, and can probably work your load up as you see how you rifle likes the combo. It should be a very accurate load when you get it tweeked out.

Only about an inch difference between factory Hornady 32 and 40 g bullets at 500 yds with the 40 being 28 inches low with a 200 yd zero and the 32 being about 29 low with the same zero. Inside 400 yds. the 32 is very slightly flatter but only by tenths. Main difference is that at 500 the 40 is...

There is the very slightest peening on the case mouths but you really have to look hard to find it. Some of the guys have done testing on the cases and can find no evidence of work hardening. I've reloaded some cases over 10 times without any problem. I do anneal every 4th firing so that might...

I've used all the methods and ss tumbling is light years ahead of the other two (vibratory and US) methods. The start up cost is higher, but evens out pretty quickly. The pins will last forever, and the only consumables are a little dish soap and lemishine. All the possible problems, answers...

MikeCr, you have certainly done a lot of work on using lead and obviously have given it lots of thought and effort. I think my basic rationale here is it seems to be a tremendous amount of effort for a very slow process. If I'm reading you right a total of about one minute per case is the best...
