[QUOTE="longbowelk, post: 927442, member: 41272"] I just bought a new Savage Mod 11 7mm08. I was working on my first reload for this gun. I have reloaded for years various calibers. I have a Rem Mod 7 in 7mm08. In reviewing of the latest Hornady book and Sierra and comparing my old reloads I did for the Rem Mod 7, I sized and trimmed the cases to 2.025 . The books state overall length of cartridge is max of 2.8. My old loads were 2.78 which is what Sierra & Hornady states. I am Loading a 139 gr Hornady bullet. In setting up the bullet seater, the first one came in at 2.760 so I lengthened it and got 2.769 and then 2.770. Before loading a bunch I decided to make sure they would chamber. Here is what I got. 2.760 did fine, 2.769 was a tight fit, 2.770 would not chamber(bolt would not close). I took all three loads to the Rem Mod 7. Each one chambered with no problem. I hate to write a book but why is it the Savage won't work? Do I need to drop to the 2.76 or 2.75? I ran some cleaning patches through beforehand . Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
