[QUOTE="toddc, post: 739766, member: 4566"] Its a savage. If the chamber is too narrow yeah needs smithwork. If its just real tight depthwise then just adjust it at the nut.You can actually play with the headspace on a savage in very small amounts which can have some interesting power and accuracy effects. Id like to hear how they act around no-go/ go gauges and measure a chamber cast also. Chamber cast is cheap and would be best really. Stuffs all over the web. I just cant see a lapua being that far behind an edge. The 2850 load is pretty standard for a 30" tube. How long are the savage tubes? Its not horrible overbore anyway that it needs the extra length too badly. Heck most 338 ultras with 26 inch tubes are generally reported as being 2700-2750 fps guns when pushed. [/QUOTE]
