    Lee Collet Dies

    Re: Lee Collet Dies Thanks so much for the help! It is definitely tight enough so i cannot twist the bullet with my fingers. I just wasn't sure if there needed to be more tension upon the actual seating of the bullet. THANK YOU!!!

    Lee Collet Dies

    I'm currently using Lee Collet dies for reloading my .308 Win. I'm using Lapua brass and 175 grain SMK's. I'm not sure how much tension there should be when I seat the bullet, but the bullet seems to slide into the case with very little effort. I hardly have to put any pressure on my press...

    .338 Lapua Magnum Powder

    I recently got a savage 110 BA in .338 Lapua Mag. I have ordered the reloading equipment for the gun, but it seems that the powder is being shipped separately. The only powder I have on hand is H380. Would this work, or should I wait for the proper powder to get here? By the way im shooting...

    Remington 700, Need Advice

    Recently I have been considering getting a Savage 10 due to their excellent quality and low price range. But I now realized that a Remington 700 action alone goes for about $400. I happen to have a Remington 700 SPS youth chambered in .308 with a nice Rifle Basix trigger already installed. So my...

    Savage barrel change question

    Re: Savage barrel change question Nice gun! Im about to ask a dumb question but could you possibly covert a .308 short action to a .338 Lapua. I know you couldn't make it cycle with those long cartridges, but would it work as a single shot?

    Savage barrel change question

    Re: Savage barrel change question I believe you are right. As long as you use a cartridge based on the .308 case such as the .243 or the 7mm-08 all you have to do is change barrels. But, if you go to a cartridge with a smaller case such as the .223, 22-250 and all those other, you have to get...

    Savage barrel change question

    Re: Savage barrel change question Okay, so lets say i started off with a long action would that allow me to interchange between long and short action calibers?

    Savage barrel change question

    After researching savage I realize that you can change calibers by getting a new barrel and bolt face. So lets say i get a .308. That would allow me to change to a .243 by only changing the barrel. But if i wanted to swap to a .223 i would have to get a new barrel and a new bolt face. Am I...

    Need an Affordable Bolt Gun... Please Help!

I was considering getting a Remington Varmint SPS, but as I did more research I found that the Savage 10 would also be a good...
