    Seekins Bottom Metal

    Great setup. You can get close to 3.950" in them. Unfortunately Seekins discontinued them.

    Why no tube guns?

    What is the weight of your setup? That looks like a Sendero-ish contour on your barrel??? Thanks.

    285 gr .338" A-Max

    I've shot it as far as 600 yards so no empirical drop data yet. They group well out of my 10 twist barrel...as good as the 300 OTMs. However, I was hoping for more velocity than I am getting. The same 92 grain charge of H1000 showed about 15 fps LESS velocity than the 300 OTMs and the 300...

    338 RUM in Savage - stock help (AICS mag)

    Re: 338 RUM in Savage - stock help (AICS mag) I had CDI make a bottom metal for a savage long action that used CIP mags. Machined the back of the mag well to 3.800". Feeds perfectly and you can stretch the coal to about 3.750". Just a thought. Jeff can set you up.

    .338-378 Weatherby mag.

    Re: .338-378 Weatherby mag. A buddy has one that likes 104 gr of Retumbo and Fed 215's with both 300 gr SMK's and Berger Hybrids. Right at 3000 fps with ES at about 10 fps. His reamer was a "match" reamer with minimal free bore.

    Heavy Bullets in 22-250

    Re: Heavy Bullets in 22-250 I debated on this very subject about a year ago and got some great advice on 6mmbr. 1:9 twist sounded like the ticket up to 80 gr A-max bullets which reduced the likelihood of lighter bullet coming apart if used in the gun if I remember correctly what I read over...

    Re: Manners T4 stock Is that chassis system something you DON'T want to bed with Devcon or a similar agent? I really like how your gun turned out also.

    7mm rem mag and 180 VLD?

    Re: 7mm rem mag and 180 VLD? I have never understood how people can get 3K out of a 7 RM. The best I have been able to do in three seperate guns is about 2900. Two with 26" barrel and one with a 27" barrel. Frustrates me because I'd love to push that bullet at that speed.
