Savage 110 custom build - 7mm Valkyrie
Here's a summary of the improved version of a 7mm-300 Win Mag I drew up for my first custom rifle build. I named it the 7mm Valkyrie after both the buxom blonde "chooser of the slain" from Norse mythology and after the incredible XB-70 Valkyrie bomber from the 1960s. I chose the Savage 110 due...- chuckhammer

7mm Dies w/37 deg Shoulder on 300WM Parent Case
Had a nice conversation with Dave Kiff at PTG on Friday. I'm planning to have a reamer made for a 7mm-300 Win Mag "Improved" project gun on a Savage 110 action. He convinced me that a 37 deg shoulder would be perfect. For comparison, 300 WM and 7mm RM are 25 deg. I also plan to go with .007"...- chuckhammer

Help Deciding on Cartridge for Savage 110 Precision Build
Have a donor action from a model 110 in 7mm Rem Mag so preference would be something with a ~.540" bolt face. The Savage bolt face is easily changed but I'd rather not if it makes sense. .30-cal would be nice as I have lots of match-type .308" bullets to shoot up. Not a show-stopper...- chuckhammer

.30-06 in Heavy Barrel Form?
A little background: I've been shooting a .30-06 Model 70 Super Grade for a few years. Tried many hand load recipes and it consistently prefers MVs in the 2800-2850 range, especially with bullet weights 165-168 gr. Tried about eight different bullets between 155 and 208 gr, all with various...- chuckhammer

Question about Neck-Only Resizing
I've been running .30-06 Lapua brass through my Win M70 with neck-sizing only. Some are now at 3 firings. Several of these more "veteran" cases exhibited a pretty stiff bolt lift after the 3rd firing. I guess they're ready to be FL-sized to have the shoulder bumped back. My question is this...- chuckhammer

Max Pressure .30-06 vs 6.5-06/.270/.338-06
Hi all. First, some background: The rifle in question is a Win M70 Supergrade in .30-06, one of the recent SC-built rifles. It has a 24" barrel. I've been experimenting with the 167 Lapua Scenar, the 175 and 190 SMK, and the 208 A-MAX. So far, I've tried H4350 and RL-22 but also have some...- chuckhammer
