A. Addy of mine from work shoots for team savage. His is a 95palma throated out for the 185s. He was just given two of the 308 Palma rifles he's doing the same for. Lucky dawg!

My F-TR 2013 PT&G has .168" fb. Using 185 Juggernauts I have.140" of bullet shrank in neck when touching lands. In my 28" barrel I can load it to 2850 fps, but my bbl likes 2720-2750 fps (44.2 grs N150). Mild load in my barrel.

You mean they don't shoot factory guns with factory chambers?

Juggernaut bullet = Berger PN 30107
Are you turning necks?
If no turn, then you have 2 great "out of the box custom" choices for a 185 jugg 308 reamer:
1. Contact Dave Kiff at PTG for .168 freebore, and/or 2. Pierce Eng with .225 freebore.

I have the Pierce chamber in my 30in 11 twist Brux stanard palma. With 44.0gr Varget, seated at cartridge OAL of 2.920in I easily get 2800+ fps with no pressure signs and plenty of room for more Varget...

That's what they are. My savage ftr is the same 95 Palma chamber

Why such a big freebore difference between the two?

 

[kev77]

thanks guys. 168 fb it will be, no turn.

Good choice. I would not go longer than .168" FB with Juggernaut. Just my opinion from my experience. If you will use use Lapua brass in no turn chamber, I advise you .341" neck. Perfect with factory specs Lapua brass (.003 -.0035" total clearance).

which .308 reamer for the Berger 210 LRBT?

 

[kev77]

Sounds good "lapua brass" .341 neck thanks
