    bullet depth into cartridge

    Get a Hornady OAL length guage. You'll also need to get the adaptor to fit a dial caliper so you measure to the ogive of the bullet and not the tip. See how far out you can seat your bullets at the lands. Your mag box will dictate how long you can seat but at least you'll know how much the...

    Vortex Crossfire

    Vortex Crossfire

    Vortex Crossfire

    Still waiting on it. By the tracking number it's slated to arrive tomorrow. Yeah, it was 99.95 and $12 shipping. If the turrets are wrong, I guess the correct ones are going to add to the overall cost.

    Vortex Crossfire

    I guess that's why their selling so cheap. How much of a PIA was it to make sight corrections? Did I just waste $100?

    Shilen Savage Barrels???

    E.A. Brown also has Savage pre-fit barrel that are currently selling for $269 and shipping. My EABCO 260 Rem barrel is shooting just over half inch with my handloads. They do foul almost as bad as factory Savage barrels but mine is pretty easy to clean now after 150 rounds.
