[QUOTE="old243, post: 991380, member: 83748"] This is my first post on the long range hunting site . Very impressed so far. I have been reloading for my 243 savage model 100L bolt handle on the south side. Purchased this while in high school , so have been down the road togather a lot, I am in mid 70s. Tried to use the reloads in my sons parker-hale 243, they were so tight that the bolt would not close. I tried some factory loads and a new empty casing and they fit and ejected easily. I have just been neck resizing my reloads, for the savage Would the chamber enlarge after a lot of usage, due to wear, or pressure. Or do chambers vary a little in size. I didn't realise that the reloads were a little larger, until I tried them in another rifle. The savage still shoots accurately, although maybe not as tight as I would like, probably I am the weak link. I have a Leopold vx2 3-9 50 scope on it which I have been quite happy with. Brought home a few Ontario whitetails with it. Would someone have an opinion , about this. Old243 [/QUOTE]
