[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2403316, member: 6078"] My first ever rifle "build" was an old savage 110e my dad gave me. Beat up old ugly gun that shot bugholes. I unscrewed the barrel and rented a ai reamer and 6mm throater and turned both by hand with a t handle. I dont remember the load I used but it was 7828/87gr max and I shot the life out of that barrel in 3 summer's of groundhog hunting with the same couple dozen pieces of brass, shot a couple dozen times each. Accurate Magpro was crazy fast but never got the accuracy from it and I had a 30lb keg of 7828 (wish I'd bought 20 kegs now. Think I paid 20 bucks for that bucket of powder!) If it's just a hunting gun u will shoot a few times a year, dont bother with the ackley, but if u want to shoot a lot, do it. On calm days, it's right up there with most of the long range boomers that guys on here shoot, just for smaller game. Cheaper too. And very little recoil. [/QUOTE]
