Guys I don't know if I did this the right way so how about a little help from the savage pros's.
I have a Savage 12 F/TR in .308 this gun has about 150 rounds though it and I was working on a round for it, the first thing was to find the OAL. I have a stoney point OAL gauge but it did not work real good it wanted to stick in the barrel. So what I did I took a used fired case that was shot in this gun and lightly seated a 168gr dummy case in the chamber at 2.250.5 and the bolt was tight but it would lock so I seated the bullet .005 at a time until the bullet would not stick in the lands of the barrel and the bolt was free which was 2.222.0 so I guess that is where I should start from right?? This way was slow but I think it will be real close to right.. If I am wrong please set me right.. This is a great forum with a ton of info thanks guy!
