    Blue printing a Savage , what about the bolt head?

    We examined the lugs and they appeared to be true, then looked in the recesses and they looked good. I could not find any discrete set-back. Yes, the barrel has been removed and we're gonna check the action after lunch, to be double-sure. But I'm sure this was a weak bolt head pin that just...

    Blue printing a Savage , what about the bolt head?

    Stuck Bolt Head on Savage I thought this thread might be the better place to post my question. I just witnessed the bolt head separate from the bolt body of a friend's Savage model 12 in 220 Swift. And to my knowledge, Savage doesn't offer repair work on this gun since it was made prior to...

    Some rebarrel questions

    Ligth Varmint w/Flutes, 25" would work well for me. .003 cents worth I had a Husquvarna in 240 Wby back in the nineties that I had put a medium contour (3) bbl on. How Sweet It Was. I got tired of the muzzle jump, and let it go. But that was a nice action. Best Wishes-

    CT Silvertips Questions

    Good Morning All- Does anyone here employ Combined Technologies Ballistic Silvertip in their loading? I'm anxious to gather user's experiences w the Lubalox residue left in the barrel and it's affect on barrel/accuracy performance. I'm new to this Lubalox coating (save the lubalox they used...

    Depth Question

    Re: Lee Collet The Lee Collet doesn't work the shoulder area, from my experiences as I use them religously. Its sole focus of operation is on the neck being squeezed around the mandrel. If you have the die adjusted too deep into the frame, you run a risk of springing the collet- no cause for...

    Accumark Trigger Adjustment

    CD- The front screws are typically used to adjust the weight of pull..so in backing the screw out, you'll decrease some perceived friction-tension on the forward movement of the trigger. Take small steps- back your screw out in 1/4 turns increments, then cycle the bolt hard to detect any...

    Depth Question

    Re: Rem 710 Load Work-Up IMHO, your bullet choice is good, the throat jump isn't extreme and the powder choice is popular. In a 22" bbl, I'd use 4831 or, better still, 4350- I'd invest in Lee's Collet Die or RCBS X-Die- I'd try the Nosler AccuBond- Just some thoughts before you go into...

    Depth Question

    Re: Rem 710 Purchase Then, if you're getting that kind of performance from that rifle, pat yourself on the back. There are too many people out there wanting that level of accuracy from such a rifle. Well Done. My' hat's off to ya- Now...

    22-250 Brass w/ .473 Case Heads

    Thanks a bunch for the reply... As I understood it, if any round made using the '06 headstamp, it would be run through small basing processes to ensure proper functions through any auto-loading actions it might be used in.
