    Picking up Savage 110 FCP in 338 Lapua

    No Savage bashing going on here. I own 8 and multiple barrels, and new PTA in the box to build on. The Kaboom problem could stem from improper sizing, or something in the chamber. I think the problems that I've wittnessed is inexperience in reloading of somekind. If it was not for the fact that...

    Picking up Savage 110 FCP in 338 Lapua

    Wyfox, you've got it going on... Good looking Goat and rifle. I never shoot game with my .300 Lapua, killed a mess of Whitetail with my .300 RUM with 180 NBT's. Exit wound was big enough to put your fist in.

    Kaboom at Manatee today!

    I shot a 1000 yard Gong shoot there some years ago. I was shooting my son's 7WSM, I got sighted in without a problem. When I started shooting for score the extractor broke on me, big chip came out of it. This was a Win. model 70 Coyote. Back then we shot the shoot under time, 1 shooter at a...

    Picking up Savage 110 FCP in 338 Lapua

    ahhshoot, have you read the thread on Kaboom at Manatee? I've owned standard magnums, ultra mags, and super mags. If I was to go big mag again it would be a .338 Edge off of the .300 Ultra case, and I'd build it on a Savage action. Most of the rifles I shoot are built on Savage actions. I have...

    Kaboom at Manatee today!

    I've shot Manatee many weekends for years and have seen things. This is one of the worst. Thank God no-one was seriously injured. I stopped shooters a few times from doing this exact thing. Gene and the crew should post a reminder on the line for people that insert rods from the muzzle end to...

    Checking in from South FL

    David, AJ, I could run down there and meet you guys and shoot with you if I'm not busy working. I do have a flexible job, but the weekend would be best. Don Dunlap

    Checking in from South FL

    Welcome to the forum Big Country, where about in S. Fl.? I lived in P.B. County most of my life, now reside in N. FL. I still have many friends down sown that shoot. Some of them go to Manatee Gunrange which is a 1000 yard range. Some of them shoot 600 yard F/Class at Port Malabar Gunrange. If...

    Gunsmithing Marine-tex bedding cure time???

    tacsniper, this is what works for removing bedding material that seeps into the action. Aircraft paint remover, it can be purchased at Walmart. Take the barreled action out of the stock, use a cuetip that is saturated in the solvent, rub the bedding and surrounding area and it will pop out...

    .308 to .243?

    The Lee kit is alright to start with. I just set a Rockchucker Supreme kit up for my cousin last weekend. These are nice kits. The single stage press is better then a progressive if you want to turnout consistent accurate ammo. If you have a range where brass is laying all over just gather up...

    Lee collet die not sizing neck like I thought it would.

    I use Lee Collet Dies on every cartridge I shoot that Lee makes them for. With that being said, Lee instructions are simple, to adjust to your press follow accordingly, may need to tweek a little. I have a Lee Classic here at home I've been using for 7-8 years now. Before the Lee I had a...

    Member Link Up shooting at manatee gun range, Florida

    I used to shoot Manatee twice a month when I lived in S. FL., now in N.FL. Gene used to let me and my buddies stay over night in the gunshop area. We would bring our blowup mattresses and stay the weekend. They have a full kitchen and a shower room. Things have changed since then. On the subject...

    Bittersweet shoot at 200 yesterday....

    First off, I hear you about range fees. My local long range that we members helped move from 600 - 850 was rewarded by increased range fees from $20.00 aday to $10.00 per hour for non-members. I'm no longer a member because it increased from nothing for an annual member to a annual paid...

    Annealing, How, Why, When, The Benefits

    I have 20 firings on .243 Winchester brass that has been FF into 6MM Competition Match. It has not been annealed. This brass shot for group the last time at 600 yards, yielded .4 moa - 5 shot group. The barrel had just over 3800 rounds down it at this time. I have 2 sets of brass, this set and...
