[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1532395, member: 85987"] Leave the savage alone put the diamond back on the 7mag and the 12 swfa on the 308. The 7 might shake the diamond back to pieces no worries lifetime vip warrranty. At that time upgrade it to a ffp pst. The savage will sling all the heavies. If you look up Montana marine he is slinging the 215's in a 12tw 308 at 2600fps. That savage will have a longer pipe and a 10tw. Get some mr 2000 223cfe rl17. I know the mr2000 will push heavies fast 223cfe seems to be the same powder and rl17 is what Montana Marine was actually using. If you need 308 stuff RMR bullets has M118LR pull down brass powder and 175smk's I bought 500pcs of brass. It is primed with the #34 primers. All I did was run the expander ball into the neck to make them round and 42grn varget with the 168 bergers. 2810fps and less than a bullet's width of vertical at 480yds. Same brass with 45grn of 4064 and 150's I have a match solid and the ballistic tips for practice/hunting 2830fps and 1.25" groups with the noslers at 300yds the solids are about half that and 35fps faster with the charge. Practice with the 308's it will teach you wind better than the 7mag. It will also be far less money to shoot with outstanding barrel life. Bring the 7 and confirm cold bore and different temps along with actual drops vs a ballistics program. If you wanted Lapua brass $80-100 with shipping from about everywhere. [/QUOTE]
