just bought this rifle and was going to reload my own ammo but i have run into a question that i cant find a simple answer too...
info
brand new savage axis 7mm-08
brass- lc .308 rsized to 7mm-08
bullet- speer 130gr 7mm
book says overall length sould be 2.800"
problem
wheen i chamber a dummy round at 2.800 is locks up the bolt and wont close
so i got the bolt to close and remessured the overall length and its at 2.690
that 0.11' shorter then what the book said it should be..
the question
with me reloading my own ammo and starting with a minum load and using the info i have should this be safe?
thank you
