I set the bushing to float within the die. Which you did mention. Also make sure that the shell holder or brass in the shell holder floats freely. And lock the die down tight.
What about the Shilen action? The savage barrels work and it has a Remington footprint and uses a Remington trigger. You would still have the ability to swap your own barrels. If you ever wanted to sell it, you should be able to get a lot of your money back out of it. That is the one thing I...
I have a rem 700 .308 with a 1-10 5R 30'' Krieger, B&C stock and an FTR front bipod,and a nightforce 20 moa rail that I am getting ready to post in the for sale section for 1200.00. Has six hundred documented rounds and will shoot the Berger 185 juggs in the .3s.
I have one that I love. It is an awesome factory rifle. It will routinely produce 1/2'' 5 shot groups. One complaint that I have is the recoil. Yes it is only a .308 but the recoil pad from HS is pretty lousy. I fixed mine with a grind to fit Decelerator 1'' pad and balanced the rifle with...
For the price of the savage you could also look at a Remington 5r mil spec. I had a savage 10 fcp hs for several years and shot it quite a bit. When I wanted to upgrade practically had to give it away. Now have a 5R .308 with a 24'' barrel. In my 2 examples of rifles the Savage wasn't any...

Re: My next project rifle
yep i dont think you can beat a savage for the money.mine came with an accutrigger and i have never had an issue with it.easy to adjust and very crisp.post up a range report when you get it to the rane.
Re: Yes, I know you guys reload mainly rifles, but...
we load a lot of range brass,man the stainless media has made a believer out of me,every part inside and out of your brass will come out shiny new.
Re: Neck Turning Lathe
i have a forster neck turning tool,if i have a lot to turn , i use a lee lock stud chucked in a drill.seems to work like this.however this does seem to be a little less labor with it mounted onto the bench.
Re: Stock Stevens Trigger.
i had a stevens that ended up with a pretty good trigger,took about a half an hour.all that i did was remove the stock and used a diamond surface file to reduce the aggressive sear engagement.(note a very small change)and then backed off the spring tension . in...
