I have a Kimber Custom .45 that I bought in 1997. I have put 15,000 round through it with ZERO problems. After I got it I had a trigger job done to it to bring the trigger down to 2lbs. It will shoot 2" groups at 25 yards with good ammo. For the money you can't beat a Kimber.

What I did was ask three of our regular shooters to come out and give me a hand, if any new shooters showed up we would work with them. If no new shooters showed, we had a great practice. Usually there was at least one new shooter every Friday and the previous new shooters continued to show up and practice. It's been a great program for us, and like I said before it's going to continue at our club. I'm almost as excited about the Friday practice shoots to start as I am the monthly shoots.

My brother had his chest cracked open (that's what he called it), and his doctor wanted him to gradually return to activity. Six months after surgery we were back in the woods for a elk hunt. What the doctor was worried about was his chest. The recoil of a 300 weatherby would have been a little much, so he had a muzzle brake added, and he found that worked well. The doc told him that the hart would recover faster then the incision would. Three years later you would never know that he had open hart surgery, unless he took his shirt off.

BDH, here is what I did at our club to increase the number of shooter. I did some groundwork and found that the biggest problem is intimidation. A lot of “US GUYS“ don’t like to make fools of ourselves. They felt to intimidated to shoot in a match the first time they tried IPSC. So this last summer every other Friday evening I held a informal practice where we would shoot drills for the first hour or so and then set up a stage and run them through.
The first Friday evening I had six new shooters that I had never seen. We had two practices before the next match, by the end of the second practice all six shooters were primed and pumped for the next match. Those first six are now regular match attendees. By the end of the summer I had increased our core group by 19 shooters.
This is what worked at our club, you might give it some thought. I know that I'm doing it again this summer.

Our Military might's decline
I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government underwent a peaceful transition of power two years ago this month.
At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism as I watched George W. Bush take his oath of office.
However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched William Jefferson Clinton board Air Force One for the last time.
I saw 21 Marines, in full dress uniform with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing President.
It was then that I realized how far America's military had deteriorated under Clinton.
Every last one of them missed.

I agree that more people load on single stage presses, but more ammo is loaded on progressive presses each year. I have many friends who load on single stage presses, but only load a couple hundred rounds a year. I'll load 7000-10000 rounds a year on my Dillon.

Check the action screws, the two forward of the trigger guard. The one behind the trigger guard is just a wood screw on the savage. The action screws were probably not all that tight when you got it. Tighten the front screw pretty tight the middle one should be good and snug. A little locktite or fingernail polish on the threads of the 2 front screws should hold them in place.
Good Luck

Keith the Laser Cast 200 gr LSWC is a .452 bullet, but most lead bullets in .45 (made for the 45 acp) are .452 at least those made by Laser Cast.
Good luck

Chriss is correct on the head spacing off of the shoulder rather then the belt. Chriss is also correct on the belts being out of spec, this happens more often then most shooters realize. In the bench rest world case prep includes measuring the belt of the case to make sure their uniform. Tightloop I agree that a good chamber is needed and that is a big part of the picture but the belt is going to dictate the bullet jump in the throat of that chamber, and seating depth is critical to accuracy. I to have a very accurate magnum a .338 win built on a Ruger action with a Lilja Stainless barrel. It was a bigger hassle to get it their then most of my none belted cases. By the way Tightloop that’s a pretty awesome group out of that .375, my shoulder hurts thinking about it.

tightloop I agree with you on the 6.5x55 If it is a custom chambering here in the US. If it a European military rifle, that’s something else. But the 6.5x55 is about the equivalent in popularity in Europe as the 06 is in the US. Well maybe not! but close.
-
What Semi-Auto? It's not a US chambering in a semi-Auto that I can recall. It must be a foreign military rifle or something custom, but 6.5X55?. But the original chambering was a bolt rifle. I personally like the 6.5 caliber myself, I've got a 6.5-06 planed for completion this summer.

A female police officer pulled over a man
for DUI; and said, "You are under arrest.
Anything you say can and will be held
against you."
The drunk appeared to be thinking for
a moment. He then slowly announced,
"Boobs."

Guys the thing I like about the 300 RUM is the lack of a belt on the case. "I feel" as do many others that a belt less case is inherently more accurate then a belted case. Just as the shorter fatter cases are usually considered more accurate then a standard length case in the same caliber. The PPC cases have dominated the benchrest scene. So what do you think.
The biggest mistake I think Remington did was to change the case size of the 338 RUM they should have just opened up the neck of the 300 RUM. They have basically made a beltless 338 win. ballisticly anyway.

Leo thanks for taking the time to look.

Jake! One more time with feeling!!....
Please!

Hay Jeff!
Do what your doing but add a brush to the equation. Some call it a nail brush. It's a fine bristled brush good for scrubbing the pores.

4.1 grs of Clays and a 200 gr LSWC by laser cast is the best. I have yet to find a softer feel that makes major.

LEO do you remember who was making the after market mags?

I do believe that your plan is better. You may end up with some additional help setting up for your match. Our matches are on the first Sat. of the month and only a couple of times did the practice friday fall on the Friday before the match. Good luck.
Make mine a Rootbeer and you got a deal.
