I'll jump in here and say the caliber is so much less important than fitting the rifle to her frame. LOP, cheek weld and weight allow even timid shooters to handle recoil and put them where it counts.

To the top Gents! Reasonable trades considered.

Looks like I can post pictures today. Here they are.

This just happened to me today. also can't write photos to the server or send an email to the "contact us" tab. Looks like its an old recurring issue.

28" Mike Rock AMU profile 260 AI (PTG standard 260 AI Reamer) Savage small shank. Stainless Steel 1-8 twist. SS Barrel nut and Lug. Round count is about 150. She is an F class Hammer. Aprox. 300 cases. Uniformed with flash holes de burred and sorted by weight. 150 fire formed cases, and about...

That worked for me on several rifles. Once I get a good group at 100 I move out to 7-800 and shoot a rock wall with book BC and a good estimate of the speed. (buddy accidentally center punched the crony) We used a good camcorder and a 7" display from amazon to refine the point of impact. I then...

Your actual BC can change with twist rate and velocity. I had a long chat with a Hornaday engineer one time about their 180gr eld. In my rifle with a 9.5 twist at 2850 he estimated my bc would be in the high 6's. That estimate is very close to the actual performance I am getting with 180 vld's...

TTT. Best offer or trades considered.

Sorry guys, didn't see the reply till today. 4.4" spacing

Pacific Tool and Gauge detachable bottom metal for a savage short action with top bolt release. It can be modified to be used with bottom bolt release by drilling a small hole where the lever touches. PTG no longer makes the savage versions, however I have one on a Remington Long action and I...

I chase bc and velocity like everyone else, but I ran the numbers on both for a friend. I went into it thinking the old winmag was slow and lame. Pick bullets that work with the design and almost anything north of 223 can be very capable. Honestly pick whatever you can reliably get components...

Yup. So easy to burn excessive amounts of powder without a really good cheek weld. Darrel Holland did a cheek weld post some years ago on this forum. Its well worth the read. Short version is that the cheek rest needs to be parallel to the scope axis and you need to be able to smash your cheek...

I have always been able to find a pretty solid fire forming load that was close to my final load. The cost of a shot is a lot more than the bullet. Assuming 1500 rounds barrel life, if you bought 200 rounds of brass and got 7-8 firings and a rebarrel cost $700 and you can buy all the powder in...

How did this thread make it to page three without someone saying “primer pocket uniforming tool” it’s even available on Amazon.

I have had good success with walnut media. Locks down nicely and has a nice balance between light and not too light. Doesn't seem to be affected by moisture.
