I need a magazine assembly for a model 116. Its an older savage with the mag attached to the bottom of the action. I believe it is a staggered feed. I have the outside housing. I really only need the follower, spring and the bottom plate. I tried looking online and they are all out of stock. I...

Not many realize how small .001 is in reality. The average human hair is .004 so that should put it in perspective for you. To achieve the accuracy he is portraying in those videos a remington 700 would cost what a custom gun does from the factory. Typical tolerancing on most machining...

Thanks

Here is a short video from the other day. We had a bit of a stiff breeze but connected on a few hogs. Here are three kills from 471-260 yds. The 471 is my furthest kill to date. Gettin it on video was a bonus. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj45/bigben8011/final1_zps7d3da016.mp4

I have the same gun and cant break over 2800. Im shooting h1000 right now. I might have to luck into some retumbo.

Lol i was wondering what you were talking about and didnt even notice my mistake on the paper

I believe it might be close but i do not have an accurate chrono. I have one someone blew some 17 rem bullets up in front of trying to push them too fast. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. I had read that people were getting 3200 fps with h1000 so i figured 2900 to 3050 was possible i dont...

I finally got a chance to get out and shoot my ladder test rounds. I am expirimenting with my 6.5 x284 norma chambered savage in a model 116 weather warrior. Im using nosler brass 140 gr amax h1000 and federal gold match primers. I shot my ladder test on friday which was a bit windier then...

Yeah i havent got a case tumbler yet. Im thinking an ultrasonic cleaner here soon. I use lake city brass in .223.

I use h4895 and get nice groups. 5 shots at 100 yds 55 gr sierra

I see what your saying now. How was the conditions when you used your chrono. I had two days this summer it gave me low readings but not that low.

Where are you getting 500 fps difference? You state one lists at 2800 and the other is 2805. Isnt that just 5 fps different?

Different test guns different brass it could be a bunch of different things. I got a chrono this summer and it was probably one of the best things i purchased. Most of those projected fps can be off by 100 or more fps. Shoot it over a chrono and you'll know what your load is shooting

I shoot off a tripod setup thats made by a guy in lancaster. Here is a video of a friend shooting off one standing up. http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj45/bigben8011/880ydshot.mp4

The gun came with a nikon 3-9 that i can put on if needed. So i guess more what i need it for is groundhogs. I was lookingat a 4-16 variable. But not sure yet. Was also looking at a 6-18 buckmasters as well.
