Hey guys, just signed up today. I bought a new Savage 110 for Black Friday last year. It was the Cabala's Special. Believe they called it a 10T-SR, any-who it's in .300WM. Finally got all my stuff together for it over the winter. I put a Burris XTR2 SCRMIL on top of it, My rings are Xtreme hard core gear, Force Recon Tactical Scope Rings with Integrated Level in 34mm. Bi-pod is a Harris Engineering, would like to upgrade the Bi-pod here soon to a Atlas. Topped of with a cheek rest ammo holder.

Will post pictures when I get a chance. Also would like to ask alot of infor about reloading for the chamber size vs. Mag size.

My brass is mixed, CCI250, 72gr Reloader 22, Hornady 208 ELD Match, 3.520 over all and 2950 FPS. Really sucks I can only single load. Guessing you do the same unless you put a chassis on. I made up a dummy round, and it seems 3.50 is the magic number to fit the mag.

Timm, looks good brother! I am currently single loading until I upgrade to a chassis.

It really sucks, why would they give us a mag that is minim spec? I need to get a real gauge set and measure my chamber. I did the old loose bullet seated out far. Loaded the round and knocked it back .015.

I will add, this is the 1st gun, I ever reloaded for. Have a buddy who reloads and he walked me through it.
