    Quality "Available" bullets to reload for my Savage M110 in .270 Win?

    Thanks 🙏 everyone for your suggestions and even some pictures of what has worked well for you. Since I have moved to Ohio further away from my Dad’s house where the reloading bench is, and even my brother who has his own reloading room I probably will have to use factory ammo like the new Barnes...

    For where I hunt mostly in the big woods of West Virginia and PA the shots are close (sub 100 yards, mostly 75 yards and in) so I definitely don’t want a brake on my rifle for that scenario. I couldn’t take the brake off my 300 WSM with the “adjustable” brake that was stuck open. So I finally...

    That’s the plan. To go hunting that is. I am getting the barrel cut and rethread with a side port brake put on. So eventually I’ll be able to put a suppressor on it. I don’t know how long it will take to do so. Based on how long it takes to get the brake in. I have my .270 Win for hunting West...

    Thanks for your input and sharing your cool rifle. I need to update everyone on my situation with this rifle. Because I couldn’t find my box that had the LOP shims and cheek weld pieces which would make it hard to sell for a decent price, I decided to take it to a local gunsmith. He looked at it...

    I put my rifle barrel in container filled with Kroil. Up to right above the muzzle brake. I left it at my Dad’s and he checked it 3 days later and tried turning it safely with pipe wrenches 🔧 and nothing happened. He put it back in and waited 4 more days and the same result. My “adjustable”...

    I have wanted a Tikka for a very long time, I was going to go with one in left hand 300 WSM (the T3X Lite Stainless actually) but got a good deal on the RH Savage M110 Long Range Hunter. Sadly they don’t make a left handed 300 WSM with a threaded barrel nor have they adopted 7 PRC yet even...

    I believe that is what I am going to do. I will try Kroil again then controlled heat to hopefully fix it. It’s a good shooting rifle with a variety of factory ammo (I haven’t reloaded much for it), but good luck finding 300 WSM on the shelf. Thankfully I can reload and have a decent amount of...

    Left hand Ruger stainless Hawkeye.300 Win Mag.

    I wish that I had the extra money 💵 laying around to buy such a beautiful rifle. I remember looking at a regular Woodstock version in 7 REM Mag 15 years ago but passed on it.

    We used Kroil but we didn’t try it in that manner. Might have to try that before the torch or I could sell it as is.

    That’s definitely a good idea as well especially since tags 🏷️, licenses and ammo are not cheap. I applied for a muzzleloader hunt in Utah that I should draw so I won’t need the rifle for at least a year.

    Sell or Send back first?

    No I have not yet tried that one. Thanks for the suggestion

    I could try that again we did soak it with a carbon buster before for hours and try and turn it. I didn’t figure they would send me a new rifle and that was just a dream 💭. Depending upon if I were going to go with a different cartridge or not I also would sell the reloading supplies and ammo...

    Sell or Send back first?

    Nope sadly not. With being a newly married man and a recent (Sept 23) home owner amongst other things I haven’t gotten around to either trying round two of trying to get that brake off, have a gunsmith do it or even chop and rethreaded, or sent back to Savage, or sold and use that money 💰 for a...

    Sell or Send back first?

    I don’t dislike Savage at all even though my A17 is a single shot instead of a semi automatic, even after getting a new mag, cleaning it and using the appropriate ammo. There’s two lefties in Savage that I would like. That being the Timberline or Ultralight. I just wanted to try something...

    I have cleaned out the barrel but not the brake specifically. We did try to use a carbon buster and let it soak for a long time and turn it with no luck 🍀.
