    6.5 & 7 SAUM at 2k

    What powder in the 7SAUM? I'm running a 28" 8.75t and mine sees pressure with several powders at 2975. Not to mention shoots like crap.

    How much freebore is too much?

    I agree with above^^^^ I would be very pissed off. If I send you a dummy round or 3, I want it within .005. It can and has been done thousands of times. And his "old" reamer should have the specs on it. Not a very good smith IMHO. I would send it back, make him set it back .100" and re-chamber...

    7mm SAUM Norma Brass 300pc

    Would someone like to split? I could use 150 pcs of brass but don't need the dies....

    newbie here

    Use a Rem700....22-250 would be a great 500yd rifle with heavies. Brass is easy to find and that cartridge is forgiving in the reloading dept. Get yourself an 8 twist or faster barrel with the 70-80gr bullets; it should be a shooter.

    Accurate mag or CDI bottom for savage

    Hey guys I asked a similar question trying to find out which bottom metal was closest to factory savage. Low and behold it's outsourced to Accurate mag, which I did not know. I have the choate stock for drop mag and what is the final vote? Go CDI or should I put in the accurate mag bottom metal...

    who trues savage action with minimal lead time

    They sure do....and it works great in a perfect world as in, the lugs are true to the bolt face and the action face is true to lug. Some people do run a virgin action with aftermarket barrels and some are OCD like myself and have them trued up

    Unusual request for a phone consultation

    Cat64, silly question but after you FL your cases did you also check your case OAL. Probably need to trim them before trying to chamber, mine all grow after FL sizing. They might be too long

    who trues savage action with minimal lead time

    Hey guys, thanks a bunch for the recommendations. Called Rayhill and he called me right back. 7-10 day turnaround!! That's great! A little pricey but I'll try him out. Also call RW Snyder and left 2 messages and apparently he's too busy bs-ing here on the hide to return calls. Oh well....Rayhill...

    who trues savage action with minimal lead time

    Hiders, looking for a good smith to true up a savage action and cut a barrel down. Trying to find someone with a short lead time. I understand its getting to be that time of the year but not wanting to wait 8-10 weeks. Thanks

    Savage bm question? Which aftermarket one?

    Hey fellas, I am building a cheaper utility rifle from these savage parts I have laying around. Was wondering which aftermarket bottom metal is closest to factory savage? I was thinking CDI but never owed one. It's going in this Chaote that is cut for savage bottom metal. Thanks
