    With the current exchange rate (0.73:1USD), it's the same price here.😉

    Savage 110 LA bottom bolt release bottom metal interchangeability?

    Tagging in. No help here other than Savage is awful about their component interchangeability. I generally have mine modified to top release as there are more stock option available.

    Self timing break for savage 110

    It is a two piece muzzle break that allows the user to "Clock" the brake to get the ports properly aligned horizontally and then tighten some form of jam nut against the barrel shoulder to maintain this alignment.

    243AI powder recommendation

    What kind of velocity you getting with that load?

    243AI powder recommendation

    For those bullet weights, I'd lean toward H4350 or possibly Stabal 6.5, for 100+ grain projectiles, H4831 or H1000 (if your throat is long enough to allow for enough powder).

    IMR 4350 Why is it so Expensive,?

    Count your blessings. I don't remember the last time I saw a $35-40 pound of powder around here!:mad:

    Savage stock help!

    I went with the Stocky's VG2 for my Savage 300WM. Can't remember which dbm bottom metal ( several builds going on), but 3.85 outside dimension. Inlet is a little tight and will have to be modified slightly. Also need to modify for nut as I'm using an aftermarket nut. Still waiting for a barrel...

    Switching from copper to copper jacket and vise versa -- Causing Issues?

    While I don't have alot of experience changing back and forth, I would suspect some combinations and barrels may work better than others.......bullet materials, mono to C&C or visa-versa, powders used, factory or custom barrel........ Had a Remington 700 that wouldn’t shoot Barnes after...

    Neck tension question

    If you don't have a ball mic, a better way to know what bushing to use/ obtain, is to seat a bullet and measure the loaded neck diameter. Mist of us have a way of removing a bullet without damaging it so components can be reused. Aside from that, I like to expand the necks as a last step so if...

    Seating Depth Increments?

    I like the Berger method (or some variation of it based upon bullet profile). I also do coarse seating depth testing prior to powder tuning. I have found that large variations in seating depth (=/>0.015') can cause enough velocity change to move into or out of a "powder node", which may be...

    Magnum primer question

    I'd go with the Winchesters. In my 6.5 CM, Federal and Winchester produced similar velocities while CCI lost about 30 fps. Upped my charge weight to get back into the node. The CCI primers just fall apart when I deprime. Maybe a bad batch, but they always go bang and my ES/SD is still good.
