A pause for the COZ
New member
I have a Savage Model 11 that I use as my Barrel swapping gun.
Depending my mood, it may be a 308, 243 and now a 7mm-08.
Going from 308 to 243 included a new scope. So I had to go through all the scope settings.
This time I kept the same scope. The reason I added this to cast bullets section is because this gun is only shooting cast.
I swapped out the barrel, set the head space, re attached the scope.
I was able to figure out a way to connect the action wrench with out having to remove the front scope mount.
Loaded up a bunch of cast loads. I used the same powder load I used for the 308.
20gr of 4227.
Bingo!!!! 1st shots flew in about 2 inches below POA. Adjust the scope up 2 inches.
All shots landing with in 1.5 inches at 100 yards.
Nice!!! I love it when a plan comes together.
I have just a little vertical stringing to adjust for. But hey easy peasy!!!
