Thanks for all the info, going up to Springfield on monday to see what they have. I may have to order them. Thanks again all Tony.

I agree with you. I wanted to ask about a large cat in my hunting area, but figured it might not be such a good idea. I was fortunate enough to see it up close, within 40 yards, and it never saw me. I watched it for about 400yrds before it whent back into the woods. Really was a once in a...

Thank you Mudrunner, while looking into rounds, I read sierra said not to use hunting, didn't know if they where the only ones that say it?

I am new to reloading, and this site. I am looking for a good round for reloading a 7mm mag. Currently I shoot Winchester supreme nosler balistic tip factory rounds. I'm looking for a match grade bullet for reloading, that is good for hunting. I'm not sure if there is a good match grade for 7mm...

Azsugarbear thanks again. You've been a great help with everything. I am new to actually shooting with real accuracy. The reloading is completely new for me. I will probably start a new treat about bullets, and I have a ethical question I want to pose as well. But thank you again huge help. Tony.

I have another ? What are the favorite powders being used here? Pellet, flake, Hodgdons, IMR? Thanks again Tony.

I did read the article's on barrel length's on Lilja site. I really like that site, very informative. Do you or anyone else know what match grade round not to use for hunting? I already have Nosler match grade for my .223 single shot but don't know if I can use them for hunting? I have taken a...

I went to the link the other night and found a lot of info. That has been very helpful. I only walk maybe a mile to and from my hunting spot, sit up 50 foot on a bluff. That spot gives me every bit of a 1000 yards to my left, and a few hundred yards to my right. Having a heavier gun isn't to...

Thank you Azsugarbear, that was what I was looking for. Being new here, I cant find hardly anything I'm looking for. Can any one tell about length? From what I've found on the matter(not much) the longer it is the better powder burn is achieved causing a faster muzzle speed. I haven't found...

Thanks Bob, I need to do some research to figure out what all the pros and cons are. One of the sites mentioned before for barrels has different options for twist #of rifling, and length.

I'm wanting to keep it a 7mm mag. That seems to be a really good round, deer normally drop fast. Sorry about the lapse on reply's, I drive trucks and don't always have time to go online. I'm thinking about 168gr berger. Thanks.

Thanks Geargrinder, I have been doing a lot reading on the gun with the help from here, and I have learnd a lot as well. I think it will be a good gun for me to start with. I will get the Leapold vx2- 4/12x40mm. to start, I just need to figure out what length to get it in. It will be...

Thanks for the help. Up till recently I didn't know my Savage could be anthing other than what it was. This will be a fun learning experience for me.lightbulb

Thanks for the advice and info on the barrel. E. arthur Brown was where I found the barrel, but like I said before I wasn't sure if there where others out there, or quality as well. I did just get back from Bass Pro in Springfield, and I looked at the Nikon prostaff 5? I think that was it, I...

Any help would be nice, if I'm off base on this Savage than please let me know. I do feel that this gun could be good for me, just not sure how far it can be taken, or if it's worth it?
