Look at Savage. The models with the Accutrigger and Accustock are extremely accurate. My 10PC would easily shoot 1moa with most ammo. My 12 F T/R shoots 1/2 moa's all day long.

Steve, Read post #7, second sentence.

My new rifle is a Savage 12 F/TR. The one it replaced was a Savage 10PC.

I don't want to damage the brass either. hmm.

I'm using IMR 8208 xbr. 41grns under 168 SMK's BR2 primers. Max published load is 42grns. I did put a prepped case only in the chamber and had the exact same problem, so I'm assuming it's not being caused by the bullet hitting the barrel lands. Loaded ammo is at 2.80".

I'm one that doesn't have a shoulder bump die. I don't have a sizing die, though I will very soon once Midway delivers it. I've only needed to use neck sizing die in the past owning only one rifle chambered in .308. Thanks for the help.

I've got a hundred rounds of neck sized 308 fired from a previous rifle. They will chamber in the new rifle but are tight. I need to push with effort to lock the bolt. Should I pull them and resize? Can they damage the new rifle?

So, how many does one have to try before ruling out the ammo? Dave

Yep. That's what I was thinking. Dave

Thanks guys. Something to think about. Dave

UGH. I made it to the range yesterday. I loaded the first mag with my CMP/Aguila ammo. The second shot was a Failure to fire. I finished out the mag w/o issue. Next, I switched to SK Match Rifle. The first shot was a failure to fire. I switched back to Aguila and went on to shoot 60 rounds...

AlexanderA, That's sounds like what I'm looking for. Dave

jmr40 said, "You could convert to single shot, but it is still going to eject brass." I don't understand why? Dave

Good question. The answer would be cost. I already have a bolt action in .308. I also have an AR15 that I could use the lower from to make a second range/target rifle, this time in .223. A good bolt gun will run me $800 and up. A new upper would be much less. Dave

I'm thinking of picking up a heavy barrel upper for target shooting. I don't want to chase brass after each shot. Is it possible and how would I disable it to keep it from auto ejecting the fired case? Dave

Tomorrow's the day to try it again. I'm bringing different ammo with me if I do have misfires just to try it to see if it acts up. I'll let you know. Dave

I hope that's not the case. Dave

Well, I took it down to pieces again today. I replaced the new Valquartzen hammer spring with the stock Ruger hammer spring. To my surprise, the trigger pull gauge read about the same at ~ 3.5 lbs, so I left it in. Next, I reamed out the chamber with a bronze bore brush on the power drill. I...

Thanks for the replies. The stock trigger spring does not work with the Valquartzen trigger, but the spring is brand new one from Valquartzen. The gun has previously fired over 4,000 Aguila rounds without failure. I will check the breach face and chamber for any carbon. I forgot to...

This one has me stumped. I have a mid 80's 10/22 with somewhere north of 10,000 rounds through it. It's nearly stock with the exception of a Valquartzen trigger and bolt hold open. I shot a 60 round match with it yesterday and had 3 failure-to-fires. In the past, when the gun gets dirty...
