    260 Rem load question

    I'm using this Peterson brass, CCI 200 primers, 140 SMK, H4350. This was a load test of 40-42 grains at .5 grain steps. I'm .015" off the lands and am right around 2.75" OAL. My Savage Shilen barrel has a short throat. Do these primers show excessive pressure? I've read that there is an accuracy...

    Help bumping shoulder...strange results

    I shot my 260 Rem Savage today. Barrel is Shilen, not sure if it matters. I'm using Peterson brass, once fired (today). I used the Hornady comparator tool and measured my fired cases at 1.624" (arbitrary number, I know). I've only got a set of Hornady dies, but when I size the brass, it seems to...

    Best value chronograph

    Savage 10 questions

    Hey everybody. I bought a left hand Savage 10 back around 2008 or so. I think it was called the weather warrior or something. It came as a .308 with the crappy stock. I pulled the barrel and installed a Shilen 1:8 .260 Rem barrel and also installed an upgraded recoil lug. I found a take off H-S...

    Gunsmithing Left hand build questions

    Okay, so I'm a lefty looking to build another project. My current setup is a Savage w/Shilen .260 bbl, HS stock. It shoots super. I'm thinking about another action to work with. People seem to like the 700, but I'm still doing research to see if it's worth working with over a Savage. So far, I...
