Also I'm reading mixed strengths from 88k to 110k it's 416r

Ok thank you I'm not sure how to calculate it and have been trying too. I called the barrel manufacture and they said should work but wouldn't give me any details. Beings that they sell savage pre fit barrels at 1.06 so idk

Ok I found a calculator online for the hopp. I put in .534 for the cartridge and subtracting that from 1.17 and adding in 65k psi gave me 77475 my barrel is stainless 126,000 so do I dived that number if I do it gave me 1.6 which would be over the safety factor of 1.5? Never done this before so...

Thank you for your response I cannot find any information on this at all. I'm assuming that 1.17 inches is enough metal but better safe than sorry.

Thank you for the advice. Yes that is correct I do have very little experience. I guess my question should say should I start out with soldering and gas welding to learn? I do not plan on doing cracked actions for other people or advertising to do so but to learn under a very experienced mentor...

Hello all I am looking into purchasing a welder to do small jobs. Example fixing a cracked action,attaching sights and a bolt etc My question is im not sure I can afford a tig setup. Will gas welding work for what I want to do until I can afford a tig setup? I know that everyone says stick...

Hello all I have a savage 116 that I'm looking to re barrel to a 338 rum My question is ... Is there any benefit or added strength by threading the barrel off the shoulder like a 700 opposed to threading the new barrel without a shoulder to accept the barrel nut? Also is there any logical...

Hello all I'm looking at rust bluing. I can do hot bluing but it a small shop and cost it takes to much. I was looking at rust bluing. I really like the way it looks and I enjoy the work that needs put into it it's kinda like a custom touch. My question is what's a good solution to use...
