Re: Savage bent receiver fixed - SHOOTING RESULTS I have a savage that was twisted like his. Instead of fixing it with visegrips I sent it to SSS and Fred fixed it up for me. Is this going to blow my head off? If I live can I sue? I've put about 1k rounds through that gun as a .223 then...

Basicly I was using my powder dipenser and it got down to the point the tube couldn't pick up powder. I picked up the wrong jug and poured some more powder in the dispenser. I continued loading and right when I finished if got to the point the tube couldn't pick up powder again. So I poured...

Re: Analize my ladder test I can't see well enough at that range to trust it. So I colored the bullets with a dry erase marker. And the would drive down and mark the shots based on the color in the hole. Worked pretty well really.

Re: Analize my ladder test Thanks for the input. Hopefully the wind will die down some and I can get back out to the range next weekend. Not sure what happened to shots 7, and 7A. Although I let the gun cool some between shots, it had alot of time to cool every 4th shot. As that's when I...

Re: Analize my ladder test Can somebody move this to the reloading section? I clicked the wrong thing.

You guys probably get this alot, just wondering how you'd proceed after this test. This was shot at 600 yards, I shot 4 shots then would go mark them.(used marker on bullet to tell the diff) I shot, shots 1-10 1st looked to me like 5-7 and 8-10 were grouping together. The repeated the test...

Re: Savage Rifle(need help) I had this happen on one of my savage's. Sent it back they changed the barrel and all was good. Now I had another action I bent because I'm a idiot. This caused the holes on the top of action to not line up. I sent that gun to Fred a SSS and he fixed it along...

Re: all of this barrel twist rates is confusing me. I have a savage with a 1-9 twist. I've been trying to find a good heavy bullet with high BC for 600 yard shooting.(hope to try 1k when the local range gets done.) Anyway so far I've had good results with the berger 70gr, and similar with...

Re: Remington/Savage Actions You still need head space gauges, no matter what. There's only two different kinds of barrels. Small shank, and large shank. So new or used you have to know which your action is and order the proper barrel for it. How much do you want to spend on the barrel...

Re: reloading at the range double post

Re: reloading at the range I tried this the other day, and found my beam scale moved in the wind. Until I figure out how to stop that I wont be loading at that range. I did work up a load at another range that has a little building i could set up in. That worked great, but they only have a...

Re: Neck Sizing Question I measured about 20 sized cases and found them to be .247 to .248. My loaded rounds were all .249 except for 2 at .250 Granted it would be nice to have measured the rounds the where off. And I may need to upgrade from my cheap harbor freight calipers. I doubt...

Re: Neck Sizing Question I was thinking it would effect the pressure and the velocity.

I'm getting some vertical fliers in my groups, and think it has to do with my neck sizing. (5 shot groups with 3-4 shot's in 1.5-2" and the other 1 or 2 shots 6" high at 600 yards) I feel like it's probably something wrong with my load. The one area I don't feel right about is the neck sizing...

Re: Will Bedding effect load? That's kinda what I was thinking. Releaving any preasure on the rear tang would change the harmonics, and screw up my load.

Re: Will Bedding effect load? It's a factory savage thumb hole stock I bought online to replace the factory tupaware stock. If figured worse case I can fill it back in with bedding compound, no big deal. It shot good in the old stock like this, I just forgot to do it when I bedded it into...

I've been trying to work up a load for the last week. Now I had read savages like to have the rear tang floated. So today I took some material off under the rear tang so it would float. I also know I didn't torque the gun the same.(few more inch/lbs on the rear screw) I went to the range...
