    Hard case for 110 BA?

    I have a Pelican 1750 that is about 1 1/2" too short for my Savage 110 BA 300WM. I need about 51" plus, inside. Any advise? I'd like a hard case if it's not crazy expensive.

    Sierra 155 SMK and 8208XBR?

    Wanna try some Sierra 155 SMK AND 8208XBR. Is this a good combination? Or should I use H4895? Going out to 200-300 yds.

    Hornady brass/178 BTHP

    I'm gonna try loading 178 BTHP's in some new Hornady Match brass. I've been using Lapua. Wanna start using some Hornady now, see how it compares. I have IMR4064 and 8208XBR to play with. Would the 4064 push the 178 better than the 8208? I thought somebody somewhere told me the 8208 was better...

    Loading 175 Nosler Custom Comp

    Thanks miller time. I'll try it. I found out today that my Savage prefers SMK's over Hornady Amax. . I have been experiencing with Hornady 178 Amax for 5 weeks now, and cannot get it right. Thought my scope or gun was going bad. So today I shot 5 rounds of 44.2 Varget pushing 168 SMK out of...

    Midway 178 blems

    I've got a few boxes of 178 BTHP blems from Midway. If I'm loading 41.9 of IMR4064 in Lapua brass for 178 AMAX, where should I start to load the 178 blems? Are these supposed to be the same as Hornady 178 BTHP?

    Savage Accutrigger replacement.

    According to my gunsmith, there is enough side play in the trigger mechanism that apparently wears something out after enough firing if you don't pull the trigger straight back. I accidentally pull mine a little to the side , and that must not be good for the AccuTrigger. I've seen the play in...

    Savage Accutrigger replacement.

    It looks like my trigger sets inside a "housing", and there is enough slack to allow it to rattle in there. I'm hoping I can shim it in there to take out some slack.

    Savage Accutrigger replacement.

    I really liked the accutrigger, too. Mine went bad because I pull the trigger back and to the side. You think if I could shim one where it took out the side slop, it would tolerate my off-angle trigger pull? Until I refined my pull. Are shims possible and do-able?

    Savage Accutrigger replacement.

    I had a SAV-2 on my .25-06. It felt good. I like supporting our vets and heroes!

    Savage Accutrigger replacement.

    I currently am running a RifleBasix SAV-1 trigger after my AccuTrigger went bad on me. (Liked it) Model 10 FCP .308. Looking for opinions on the SAV-2 vs Timney. Ready, go...

    Hornady 178 BTHP VS 178 Amax

    I like to use my precision mic for seating depth.

    Hornady 178 BTHP VS 178 Amax

    I hear the 178 BTHP has a better BC than the Amax. Would I load them with the same powder loads? Anybody shoot them comparatively?

    178 gr BTHP BLEMS

    I can't see where you can go wrong for plinking bullets.

    178 gr BTHP BLEMS

    I haven't shot these yet. Shot some 168 blems. No problem here. I'm not a match shooter. Just a shooter.
