[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 823760, member: 18849"] I am pretty lucky in this case because I have a whole safe full of mostly Savage/Stevens stuff setting the pin is a piece of cake and I always check or set them at a bolt head change....But you have a point, maybe I should play around with the settings a little more...My standard setting is between .035 and .045 yet the Savage gurus have claimed .055 as stock setting..I have checked working stuff right "out of the box" anywhere from .025 to .060 or so....All my rifles run tighter headspace than most factory chambers and never had a "problem" with my settings...[B]But now you have me thinking[/B]...A longer setting will strike sooner (but not with as much velocity unless the preload is increased)....Primer tuning a whole new ball game (at least for me)! I most certainly am going to play with this one when the time allows...Thanks for the heads up. Randy [/QUOTE]
