Yes, your right, you can teach old dogs new tricks! don't know anything about the Savage except what I hve read on Doug's board and in the Manual and also Randy Wakeman's web site, so I have to listen real hard at the wisdom folks are sharing, and they have got some and I am very thankful for that. Like Randy recommends the Lee Dipper, but my experience with it is it is NOT accurate on loads. I tried to get a level 3.1 CC charge, just didn't work for me. The Lee balance scales worked perfect. I have the balance set at 44g and I can get it exactly. So I am a learning. I like the Savage a lot, especially the trigger.
