I have been shooting this rifle now for about a year, and it is definitly teaching me ALOT! First thing learned was what low pressure looks and acts like. People here on this site got me ironed out. Then I learned that tight chambers aint necessarily all that. People here got me over that...

Thanks for your reply, Phorwath. I got cases sticking, and thought it was the belt, maybe, but found out this morning I got bigger issues. Doesnt appear dangerous, just aggravating. I think I have a burr on the ramp of the locking lug, on the action side. Guess I'll pull the barrel off and...

Has anybody experienced belt growth? Not talking about the dreaded " buldge " but the belt itself ?

Thomas, I looked at that too, and found nothing, but there is another site called weatherby nation, and lots of information for those cartridges. Several people post there as well as here. I neck size only with the F L sizer die backed off a bit, and when they get hard to close on, I run the...

Thanks guys. Guess I'll start over.

Thanks, I appreciate your comments. Since the book lists such a short OAL, do you think I should let one fly at that length, and see how it acts? The SMKs seem to like to be about .100 off in my rifle. I had thought that I was only borrowing some of the freebore. Not correct?

So...this is from hi pressure ? Not trying to be flippant, I'm having trouble understanding what your saying. I thought moving toward the lands , initially, anyway, lowered pressure. I get "in the lands" raises pressure, as the bullet cant move till pressure gets hi enough to move the bullet...

If anyone has experienced this would you mind telling me what caused it? I changed powder to Hybrid 100V, started 2grs below max, using a seating depth of 3.960 instead of 3.660 with SMK 250 338s, and this happened. If the picture works you can see the primer looks like it was center punched...

What is your zero range? Seems like a shorter zero(100yds) would call for more elevation. Also, a marine friend of mine puts tape under the back of his scope.

Thanks. Now I know! Gregg

Question- doesn't dropping them in water defeat the process? To harden something, you heat it, then quench it. To soften somrthing, aren't you supposed to let it cool slowly? Not criticizing, just trying to wrap my head around that cooling thing. Cases look great, tho. Gregg

Welcome. If you've already got an answer to your question, and are loading these up in your Weatherby, would you mind sharing here, please? I want to try the same bullet in my 338 378, and asked the same question. If you have not done it yet, and are still looking, try this under search...

Got out to a real range today, with my "Jerry Inspired" 338-378. After all the headaches I've had with this thing, today was payday! Got her shootin about 3/4 in at a hundred, then spent the afternoon and all the ammo I had ringing gongs! Farthest gong hit was 500 yds, but I hit the one...

Folks, here is an update on my brass chambering difficulties. What I did, worked. May not have been the best solution, and maybe I came at it *** backwards, but, it worked. Thanks for the help.

This was areally old original post, that is funny, but it is still relavant! Laminates are my favorite kind of stock, and Boyds has some nice ones. I put my 110 Savage on a Boyds Thumbhole Varmint. Ihad to work on the barrel channel, as it is not a factory barrel profile, but for the money...
