So, I finally measured my Savage 10 FCP-SR 20" barrel in 308 with the Hornady Overall Length Guage. It came out to 2.942"


I have a load that groups MOA or less at 100 yards


Nosler RDF 175 HPBT
IMR 4064 - 39.4 gr
COL - 2.800"
Hornady Match Brass


I would like some advice from those who have a Savage 10. If I wanted to experiment with the C.O.L, what is my first step?
