Hello,
I recently purchased a new Model 111 LRH Savage in 338 Lapua and am having a problem getting my loads to chamber properly, the bolt will only close to about the 3 o' clock position. My local Gunsmith told me that Savages sometimes have these "tight" chambering issues and that I should just bump the shoulder back, sounded a little strange to me so I wanted to verify before doing so. My currrent load is listed below, thanks for the help.
-Using RCBS FL dies and a RCBS RC Press
-Verified length and weight of brass was within specs, cleaned, lubed and FL sized the brass, chamfered case mouths in and out, uniformed and deburred the primer pockets.
LOAD:
Lapua brass
CCI-250 primers
91.0 grains of H-1000
Berger Hybrid 300 gr.
3.720" OAL
Thanks,
