    Opinions on Savage 10 Build

    Re: Opinions on Savage 10 Build Savages are great because swapping out the barrels is easy to do on your own. It also has a great aftermarket for parts, if you don't like the trigger you could buy a Rifle Basix or Timney or SSS trigger, a wide variety of stocks and chassis are available for...

    6.5 or 6.8?

    Re: 6.5 or 6.8? http://68forums.com/forums/showthread.php?35981-120gr-SST-from-24-inch-BHW-barrel. Heres some good info on what the 6.8 is capable of out of a 24" AR, seems pretty impressive to me, and seems to match up pretty evenly with a 24" 6.5 Grendel.

    Barnes .308 200 gr LRX

    Re: Barnes .308 200 gr LRX It depends on the brass, with Win brass I use 64.6gr. that gives me around 2965fps average, with Remington brass I use 63 or 62.7 to get the same velocity, I recommend starting with 59 or 60 grains, it doesn't take as much powder to get this round moving as fast as...

    Barnes .308 200 gr LRX

    Re: Barnes .308 200 gr LRX WOW! thats a nice bull!!! congrats. I was originally going to go with the 180's, but when I was in the market for a hunting bullet, Barnes just released the 200gr. LRX (back when it was still the TTSX), so I went with it and I love it. I recommend running them at...

    Barnes .308 200 gr LRX

    Re: Barnes .308 200 gr LRX I use them exclusively as my hunting round in my 300WSM, but I don't load em to SAAMI length, I load mine out to about 2.920" OAL, which is about .05" off of the lands. I get close to 3000fps with em and sub MOA accuracy with Reloader 17, its pretty hot though. If...

    Re: 6.5 or 6.8? Don't really see the need of a 6.8 piston rifle unless you plan on getting it real dirty, gas will be just fine.

    Which do you prefer... .300wsm or .308win?

    Re: Which do you prefer... .300wsm or .308win? 308 and 300WSM are two completely different animals, the 300WSM will outperform it in every possible way except for mag size and barrel life, although the barrel life on the 300 ain't too bad. It definitely has the power for long range hunting...
