    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...

    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...

    Re: Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish?? Thx Cobra, I grabbed the RL17 based on what I have been reading on the net. When you mentiuon barrel wear, is this because I'll get more velocity with RL17 or has it got something more to do with the makeup of the powder? Will H4350 be...

    Rifle Scopes Which NF NXS for this application?

    Re: Which NF NXS for this application? I use a NXS 12-42x56 with the NPr1 RETICLE. This one has 1MOA increments (not MIL) on vertical and 2 MOA on horizontal @ 24x. When u crank it up to 42x you can 1/2 the values, makes it easier than converting from Mil dot to MOA turrent adjustments...

    Re: Load for 260rem using RL17 95g 123g & 140ish?? Thx RedRyder, I'll start making my way through the 200+ posts. I did do a couple of searches but couldn't get specific search results for RL17 and the bullets in 6.5 I want to use. Thought some one could give me a few ranges to start with. mkm

    Range Report F/ TR 308 vs 223

    Re: F/ TR 308 vs 223 I sould also mention that I also have used, and my daughter now uses, my Tikka T3 Super Varmint .223. It has a 1 in 8". I can shoot but find that the 90g I run too much pressure for the multi use (hunting etc) than I want to to get em grouping right. I find the 80g from...

    Re: F/ TR 308 vs 223 I shoot in Australia NRA F Class Std. I use a stock std Savage F/TR, in a F class bipod with rear bag. I shoot 46g ADI 2208 in Lapua cases, neck turned just enough to get the necks even. I get 2980fps with about 6-14fps SD over 10 rounds. I should also mention I use a...
