    Savage Mark II Stock

    Re: Savage Mark II Stock Chris Wallis also made me a McM A4 stock to match my .308. Great trainer rig. Also, the stock helped out in the accuracy department, because it's way better than the factory one.

    What to do with new brass. (unfired)

    Re: What to do with new brass. (unfired) I found a percentage of my Lapua brass had dinged necks right out of the box. Since I needed to straighten those, I run the whole box through an expander mandrel. Also has the side benefit of more consistent neck tension. Then chamfer, load and...
