Well I suppose I was worried over nothing. I cast a few boolits and now I can't gouge them with my thumb nail as I could the ingots. I mixed 50/50 lead/Lyman #2.

I can scratch the ingot with my thumb nail, should I be able to scratch Lyman #2 with my thumb nail?
This is from a commercial supplier.

Sorry folks for a silly question I'm sure to some. I bought some Lyman #2 from a reputable supplier the other day as I wanted something with a known alloy, I intended to mix it 50/50 with pure and...

Dman75, thank you and I absolutely understand about poor eye sight. I have to use optics, seems that my eye sight has steadily degraded since I turned 50.

@Dman75 good job and it is addicting. What alloy are you using, I'm getting ready to start loading for my Marlin .44 Mag using the NOE 432-265. I'd like to use it for Black Bear next year.

akajun, Savage uses Winchester ballistic Silvertip 140 grain ammo. I just picked up a box to try.
Texas by God, thank you. They are shipping my rifle back today, I will hopefully get it to the...

I didn't notice any contact points when I took it apart and re torqued it, I'll have to ask Savage when they call me with the tracking number after they ship it back to me.

That is a possibility, I was really hoping to have a rifle I could just pick up ammo off the shelf and hunt with. I'll take it to the range and see how it goes when I get it back. Thank you and...

I wish I could resize the pictures on my phone of the targets.

Did all of the above including putting a Leupold vx-3i on it and torquing it properly.

82 rounds down range, I didn't notice any issues with the brass at all. I'm going to look when I get home tonight.

Elroy, brand new out of the box. Hornady 139gr, Federal 140gr and Remington 120gr.
Just to note, the model 11 .243 I bought at the same time shoots sub MOA.
Forgot to mention, it is a 1:9.5

I purchased a new Savage model 11 7mm-08 and could not get it to group used Hornady, Federal and Remington ammo.
Sent the rifle back to Savage on my dime, they looked at it. Told me that they...

I would say it was very close to the limit, another 10 to 15 yards and I would have told her to pass. I took a big doe a couple years ago at probably 40 yards with the same rifle and load. The wound...
