    Range Report 338 LM Savage 1st Ladder (need help)

    Re: 338 LM Savage 1st Ladder (need help) Thanks Cory. Yes I did more than one ladder. I figured one ladder was good, two or three would be better (look for a pattern) I only had 20 brass so I ended up doing 2 ladders of 10 this time since the first time was a bust. I'm glad Cory said...

    Range Report 338 LM Savage 1st Ladder (need help)

    Re: 338 LM Savage 1st Ladder (need help) Ok guys a new ladder is posted..... All shots were taken from a gun vise on a concrete block. No movement. Only contact was the trigger. The vise was attached to the concrete. This was 2 ladders with the same aimpoint so the holes overlap a...

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS (pics disassembled) I do think I will like it very much.... Bedding drying tonight. Compared to the old rail.

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS (pics disassembled) Ordered my 30 MOA steel rail today from Ken Farrel. He is in MO so I decided I would purchase somewhat locally.

    Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM We do have the wheeler double leveling tool and TQ wrench. They are nice. I do not have an anti-cant device. Perhaps that can be a present later. Angle meter would be cool too, but might be a bit much for my terrain. I hope to get things fixed up...

    Range Report 338 LM Savage 1st Ladder (need help)

    Re: 338 LM Savage 1st Ladder (need help) Thanks guys. Full size pictures are at the link, which are much larger. However my penmanship has always been an issue. I think that was my only "C" while in school. Color was added although some did transfer when shooting. Yes I had issues with...

    Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM Yes. I have a topic in the gunsmithing forum with pictures from taking my rail and action/stock apart. The rail did come loose in the front and the front action bolt was not exactly tight. I appreciate your response. Anything on my ladder test that...

    Gunsmithing Savage 110 FCP HS (pics disassembled)

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS (pics disassembled) PAR thank you very much! I will probably go ahead and get a 20 MOA rail, (still looking, any thoughts?) I do want to shoot 1000+. I have a location that is good for 2100 yards, not that we will try that far. Most shooting will probably be in the...

    Gunsmithing Savage 110 FCP HS (pics disassembled)

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS (pics disassembled) I did find some of the black stock coating down in the lug reciever area and cleaned it out. Hopefully that was the issue there. Taking a jewlers file and running it length-wise along the curved aluminum action area I found there was also some of...

    Gunsmithing Savage 110 FCP HS (pics disassembled)

    Since my Ladder test was probably botched due to a loose scope rail and possibly barrel I decided to take everything apart and take a look at things. I have never owned a rifle, so I'll take any advice that an experienced owner would like to give. The rail was loose at the front. I'm not...

    Range Report 338 LM Savage 1st Ladder (need help)

    Just did my first ladder test today. This is a 110 FCP HS Savage in 338 LM. Proabably has about 50 rounds through it. SWFA-SS 5-20 scope. Factory rifle. I did 3 rounds each going up in charge on each consective shot, then starting again. Looks like my front mount of my scope rail is...

    338LM + Retumbo Ladder

    Re: 338LM + Retumbo Ladder What distance from the barrel is your chrono? Thanks. I just posted my first ladder in my thread. I will work on hotter loads up to 94 gr next time.

    Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM Just did my first ladder test today. I did 3 rounds each going up in charge on each consective shot, then starting again. Looks like my front mount of my scope rail is coming loose and caused a POI shift on perhaps the last of my 2nd ladder and the...

    Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM Thanks Chris. That is what I had in mind, but things got done by my "assistant". You lost me when you said to remove the ejector on the bolt. Why are you doing that? Should I also remove the neck expander to keep from working the neck so many...

    Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM I got my RCBS FL die set today. I FL sized the rounds I had the issues with and they go in and out of the gun fine now. Hopefully this will end my issues with sticky shells. I don't have a headspace gauge. Before I got to do anything the dies were...

    Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM Another friend suggested indexing a factory round, shooting, measuring for roundness, reloading, index, shoot, measure, then try rotating in different positions to see if it is ever stiff.

    Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM

    Re: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 LM I'm pretty sure that mine is a 0 MOA base because my new SWFA SS 5-20 scope is showing #2 (20) on the elevation when zeroed for 100 yards, which I am not too happy about. On another note..... Today I went to shoot a ladder/ocw test and had an issue...
