    Speer 150 or 165 btsp were the best choices for the 300 Savage in Nathen Fosters opinion, your 308 with short barrel will equate to 300 Savage speeds.

    Ive always used pillow cases and will continue to. These were generous presents so I need to use them in-spite of their limitations. I was just giving a heads up about their poor workmanship.

    Bartlein 2b was too big for my T3 carbon stock. So turned it down just over T3 profile and eased the barrel channel.
