    Projectiles jamming in freebore before the lands??

    Re: Projectiles jamming in freebore before the lands?? Hey guy's, I have spoken with Savage, the AU Importer and a local gunsmith. Savage say they will replace it, as sending out barrels and parts is not their usual practice, if there is a fault found regarding the chambering etc. The...

    Projectiles jamming in freebore before the lands??

    Re: Projectiles jamming in freebore before the lands?? Thx Gruff, But she's had 205 rounds through her and is clean as a whistle _9H, Damn, more work. Thx heaps but, never know, I may even do it, or I may just buy a reamer, get the local smith to re chamber it and make me some f/l dies...

    Projectiles jamming in freebore before the lands??

    Re: Projectiles jamming in freebore before the lands?? Hi _9H Thx for the reply, makes perfect sense. How do I take a cast of the chamber? Reckon it's a warranty job, remember I'm in Australia though ? mkm

    Projectiles jamming in freebore before the lands??

    Hey Guy's, When seating the 250g and 300g Lapua Scenars in my .338 I find they have a tight fit in the freebore before they hit the rifling. Using an OAL guage and a modified case it is very noticable there is a tight fit before the ojive hits the lands and the projectile will have a noticable...

    Savage 110BA 338 Action & Recoil Lug screw tension

    Re: Savage 110BA 338 Action & Recoil Lug screw tension In case anyone is interested, I posted the same question at snipercentral and got an answer from a member that he had received from Savage regarding the accustock tensions. It doesn't specifically mention how to tension the wedge, but...

    Savage 110BA 338 Action & Recoil Lug screw tension

    Hi Guy's, I am wondering if anyone can give me some input, from experience, on what torque's they are using for their actions screws in the Savage 110ba .338. I am also very interested to hear others thoughts on the aluminium block inside the stock that, when tightened down, jam the recoil lug...

    Rifle Scopes Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile?

    Re: Magnification needed for 1K to 1 mile? I would say it comes down to not only what range but what your intended kill zone is at the given range. I shoot a 308 in F class out to 1200 yards and honestly I nearly always shoot on 42 power on my NF 12-42 NXS, NPR1. HOWEVER, as others have...

    Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish??

    Re: Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish?? Just to let you all know, I ran some ADI2209 (H4350 equiv) and could only get to 43.5g @ 2850fps before I hit a sticky bolt! This is about 300 fps slower than I am getting with RL17. Looks like I will explore the RL17 and see how accuracy...

    Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish??

    Re: Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish?? BTW, I was told today ADI2209 is the same as H4350, just like Varget is the same as ADI 2208. I have a tin in the shed! Now what do I do? I don't really want to develop loads for both powders. I may just use the RL17 to work a hunting load...

    Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish??

    Re: Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish?? HI Guy's, Got time for a few shot today. Using RL17 and 95g vmax, I loaded a round from 43-47g every .5g. I then loaded 4 at 44g to sightin my scope. The purpose was to try to find where pressure signs started. Basically all the loads...

    Re: Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish?? Hey thanks guys for all your responses. This is really what I needed, a few starting points. I just picked it up today, haven;t received my dies yet and I am going away this weekend, so it may be a few weeks before I develop some loads. I...

    Range Report F/ TR 308 vs 223

    Re: F/ TR 308 vs 223 Hey Priest, Fwiw, I never had good luck with the 80G amax either. I always wondered how much that little ridge between the plastic and the jacket effects them. I have shot 55g nosler ballistic tips successfully up to 300 and theygo really well, not the 80g amax though...
