Cannot see the Classifieds. My principal reason for joining this forum is to view what is being done by others with regard to equipment configuration, and buying items for which I have an interest. Am not on this forum to dictate to, nor debate, thus I will never accumulate 50 posts. If viewing classifieds and being able to contact sellers is not permissible this forum will be of no value to myself, and probably not to many other long time, since early 1990s, shooters.

Benny Hill used to advocate AA #7 for 38 Super on this forum.

Hello: I had several .303 Savage rifles, still have one, and all were fired by me with .308", 150 grain fmj bullets. Accuracy was fine, from which I infer that barrell groove diameter is nominally .308". Also, I have some Remington and Winchester factory loads which have bullets measuring .308" diameter. I infer from this information that .303 Savage does require .308" bullets. Case capacity of .303 Savage brass is nominally 7% greater than that of 30-30 Winchester brass, and maximum pressure ratings are nominally the same. My reloaded brass base diameter when measured after firing was nominally the same as factory loaded brass, which is an empirical indicator of maximum firing pressure. My reloads were 36 grains of Accurate Arms 2520.
