Finally cracked my first nut - removing a 1:11.5 twist factory Stevens 7mm-08 barrel to install a Savage model 10 7mm-08 with a 1:9.5 twist.
Thought I'd never keep that barrel from slipping, and my little town doesn't have any rosin to be found. So I got a tip from someone here about using regular table sugar instead and I'll be darned but it worked like a charm!
Once that nut came loose, it was easy peasy from there. New barrel went on, headspacing was a cinch, and it shot well this morning at the range.
Trouble now is I'm looking at more barrels. LOL
