What's up with the online app for spring? I still can't apply. Only paper so far. Anyone know?

WAHOO Congrats

Depending on the action itself. Barrels for a Savage do come chambered and threaded.

Shilen DGR action .308 head RBRP w/.300 pinned lug Shilen 20 moa Pinned base Shilen trigger Shilen Stainless steel select match 26" varmint 6.5 Creedmoor Manners T2 MCS-DBM with GAP camo Valdada 30 mm Rings Sightron SIII 6-24X50 FFP LRMOA scope Tubb level Atlas front rail Atlas PRS Bipod Grovtec quick release sling swivels Everything built by myself

I use a Sightron SIII 6-24x50 ffp lrmoa scope. The FFP scope will be around 800.00 to 950.00 depending on where you buy and the sfp 6-24x50 lrmoa scope will run you about 750.00 to 850.00. My ffp has 95 moa of elevation and my dads sfp scope has 109 moa. The ffp suppose to have 80 moa and sfp 100 moa so to get more is even better. They are very light weight 24 oz and very clear. Put it this way I have owned Valdada, nightforce, vortex, ect and the Sightron SIII has just what the others offer at a lower price, weight, and I personally have tested all side by side for proper tracking. The sightron won. So I sold everything I had and bought all sightron scopes.

Shilen actions have left hand in stock. Check out Bighorn actions also. These are probably the go to actions for most do it yourself guys at your home without having to have a lathe and mill. Plus doing it yourself will save you big time money and learn a ton of info. If you need some info shoot me over a PM. I have built 4 rifles now and each one was awesome and very easy to do.

Hornady Comparator will attach to your calipers for measuring Ogive to base (cbto) instead of overall length (coal). Make sure you also get the correct insert for your caliber. Hornady also make the Overall length gauge to measure your throat length in your rifle. Here are the links to what you need. Lock N load overall length gauge: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/570611/hornady-lock-n-load-overall-length-gage-bolt-action You will also need the modified case for you cartridge: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/459683/hornady-lock-n-load-overall-length-gage-modified-case-308-winchester?cm_vc=sugv459683 Here is the comparator set: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/231904/hornady-lock-n-load-bullet-comparator-basic-set-with-6-inserts?cm_vc=ProductFinding Both of these 2 tools used together will give you a precise read of what your gun seating depth will be. Follow Berger's info on seating depth test and once you get close move in small increments to maintain the smallest group possible. http://www.bergerbullets.com/getting-the-best-precision-and-accuracy-from-vld-bullets-in-your-rifle/

Seating depth has everything to do with group size. Go to Berger web site and look up the seating depth test to find what your rifles seating depth should be. Also do not do a crimp.

Have you tried a seating depth test? If your bullets are not seated at a precise depth of what the gun likes then no matter what you feed it, it will shoot like crap. Being that it is 15 years old it is probably shot out. A smith with a bore scope can tell you if it is or not. If you have not tried a seating depth test try it look at bergers web site for the instructions. I know my buddies gun was shooting 1/2 inch and I told him if you wanted a 1 hole group to try a seating depth test when he did it is now shooting 1 hole 5 shot groups. Seating depth is a main key to group size.

I have the 42 like what you bought. I know .380 are not all that much BUT the recoil on small guns like these are hard to control. Hence the reason I went with the 42. The 43 is a nice piece and I have been wanting to try one. Is it real snappy?

I believe HSM makes factory rounds. I may be wrong though. They will be really expensive though.

they are not clips they are MAGAZINES. Sorry pet peeve of mine.

Applied Ballistics all the way.

Rifle or Archery?

My dad got 2 over the weekend. I usually get them every year, I got one bit on my foot a few years ago and he was carrying staph and according to the dr he asked if I had been swimming in a old stagnant pond? Of course I explained the chigger bite and he then concluded that I got the staph from the chigger. BE VERY careful because my foot took awhile to get better. First time that ever happened. No chiggers this year knock on wood for me.

Happy Birthday Buddy. Enjoy your day buddy. Just remember our days are numbered...LOL.

VERY good rifle here. This gun would be a great buy for someone looking to get into long range. If I did not already have one I would buy in a heart beat. Good luck on the sale.

In the video this deer has the weirdest tail I have ever seen. It IS a Coues but man he is something special.

I am one proud dad. Over the weekend my son passed H.E. I can not believe my little buddy will finally be able to get out and hunt next year. I have been waiting my whole life for him to go big game hunting and be able to shoot one himself. I get to take my daughter in 2 years. Congrats little man.

Because people have issues on everything. Look at the way everyone acts about a flag offending them. Some will hate, be jealous, ect. Congrats on a fine Coues deer. Great shot.

I use the 21st century hand primer. This works great if you ream all primer pockets to a consistent depth and then set the hand primer to the depth you want. Each click is .0025 increase. I seat all my primers to a .005 depth. I have tried testing different depths for primer seating and have found that getting a consistent depth really helps with your ES and SD.

Donated 20.00 wish I could do more for the little man. William Clay Price

No we did it in Globe. This picture is from the globe Miami gun club my second home.
