Re: Scope Mounts

Giterdoone, thanks for the reply. Nice shootin... :lol: I think the powder they use at the hornady factory is proprietary to them and won't be for sale over the counter. I remember discussing this with them way back when the Light Magnums came out. I looked at the Savage web site and will follow the...

Re: Scope Mounts

giterdone, thanks for the reply. I got the VLP with the detachable magazine. I will pick it up on Wed, the 25th. How is your accuracy? I am a little nervous buying a Savage. I had said previously that I have always been a Remington man but big green seems to be turning little pink :lol: Any words of...

Re: Scales not the same?

I checked the digital can't check the balance. The weight for hte digital are heavier than the balance will allow.

LE Wilson Trimmer

I have the LE Wilson trimmer for other cases that I reload. I was just on Midway's sight and found they do not list one for the 204 Ruger. Do I have ot by another trimmer specific for the 204? :wall:

Re: Scales not the same?

I am starting to think I should have stuck with not checking between the two in the first place and not given myself this headache. :wall: WHat's the old saying, what we don't know won't hurt us. I guess if they were three grains off that may :eek:

Re: Scales not the same?

Thanks for the quick reply... I am loading the .204 Ruger. The weird thing was that I would measure first on the digital then the beam. One load the beam would show .1 grain heavier and the next it would be .1 grain lower. :chin: They were both right on accurate though with the same load. Meaning as...

The front mount of a two piece mount is fairley standard. The rear is either for a flat reaciever or round. Please let me know...

Savage VLP First time

I am new to this forum but have been following it for about a month now. I found a lot of good information on here and have decided to make a purchase. Thanks for all the "good". I have always been a diehard Remington 700 man. The tide has turned and I am going to purchase a Savage 12 VLP ...
