7×57 . Savage 110LH 24" barrel . They tip in almost 180 gr , I need 1900 fps to get my life long bench mark of 1000 ftlb @100 yd . It shouldn't be any trouble at all in the 24" barrel .

I need to get a package of decapping pins for the Lyman dies as that one was broken at some point . It must have been a hassle then to get them as I have a Lee size die in the box ........ I have the headspace pretty tight on this one formed brass is heavy hard cam to lock the bolt . New circa 1970 Winchester brass goes easy but I had a bunch of formed brass from an 08 Oviedo I wanted to use for R&D . I formed a 270 case to find the mouth for sure and it is where it's supposed to be but that case required a firm bump and hard cam to get it closed . I'm getting the feeling this is a tight chamber from ER Shaw and my tight HS isn't helping. I have 2 in 7×57 the other has more room in the Addams and Bennett barrel on the 1916 DWM Berlin Gew 98 with the Jeager trigger .
The Savage and I have been friends a long time, the 98 was just a project I picked up cheap that needed a barrel . "Just won't shoot any more" , wholey crap I guess not the 280 B Square fired neck will take a .301 . That might be a problem.
