[quote=TeeBone]My favorite for eastern hunting, a 722 chambered for the 300 Savage. The rifle will turn 70 next year, though has seen a few modifications over the years. With walnut stock and somewhat stiff barrel contour it's certainly not a light weight, but the balance and handling feel just about right with the barrel shortened to 20 inches. Favorite load is the 150 gr Pro Hunter at a velocity of 2650fps using RL-15. It can be pushed a bit faster, though with slightly degraded accuracy.
What's the charge weight?
45.0 gr. in Hornady cases.
Seating to a COAL of 2.680. That places the heel at the base of the short neck for grip, and still about .070 off the lands. It's a generous throat.
