Skeeter_7mm, Thanks for the info on the bolt, I will read up on that and make a choise as to how to handle it. Thanks for the load info also. I plan on using the 300g SW or the Knight Red Hot 300g which are made by Barnes. I am planning on hunting elk in Colorado in 2008 with the gun, already have paid my downpayment and did the preference point deal.
I will print your post to PDF and keep it in my "Savage Folder". Thanks again for your help.
