[QUOTE="lv2hunt, post: 635099, member: 4842"] 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, lv2hunt [/QUOTE]
