Just got one of the Co-axes...what a world of difference between that and the Lee Classic Turret press being used as single stage. FL sizing machine gun LC 308 brass is 200% easier.
I'm a big fan of Savage so far. For being stock, my FCP-K and 175 SMKs seems like a match in heaven. my wallet will hurt when I eventually get all the fancys doodads for her :(
I have the same short throat issue with my new Savage 10 FCP-K as well. I loaded a Sierra 175 SMK at OAL 2.80" and found it was jamming up into the lands. Luckily I handload, so I bumped it down to 1.78" and it shoots great. Good luck with yours!
I've purchased multiple long guns from them with no problems. The Pre-approved FFL list makes it easy, and sometimes you can save another $10-$20 off their price if the "make an offer" link is available for a particular gun.
I'm a huge fan of checking stores that AREN'T listed on gunbot, especially high demand stuff that we use like varget/H4350, etc. Seems like I'm never quick enough on the draw when those popular powders do pop up on gunbot.
