Or do I just need to pull them from some loaded cartridges? Carefully.

I looked for some Eley Sluggers without success.

Have you looked for Cerrosafe?

What are you hoping to achieve by slugging?

Bore measurement, land measurement, tight spots, barrel analysis.

Interesting; Savage barrels aren't hand lapped, so that may be a worthwhile procedure, but how to know if they're even worth lapping?

Savage chambers are on the loose side, too.

I THINK this barrel is good.

Lookin' good... Tip o' the hat to those targets.

Keen to see what you find out about the FV barrel, and where you find room for improvement.

My my biggest return has been that trigger upgrade that we're using, so it'll be interesting to follow along as you delve in to the details of the barrel.

Joe you got that thing shooting good . My nephew has a FV model that he put in a Tacticool stock and his dad bedded it for him . Its starting to come together pretty good . He's going to do the Apachee trigger mod next .
