Don't like to disturb the neighbors.



Jeep is used only for running out to the paper targets to change them. Steel targets are automatic resetting.







Too lazy to change primer setups, so keep one or more Dillons dedicated for large rifle, small rifle, large pistol, and small pistol in both 550 and 650 models. The 1050 is dedicated to large pistol.





















Measure each bullet velocity with seven different chronographs setup on a single rail and centered at the same place. In order to double-check, have another chronograph setup on its own single rail.





Have targets setup at 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200, and on out a ways. At a 30 degree angle from this view, have resetting steel targets setup on a mountain at varying distances. Have another range setup at 90 degrees to this view. Need to be able to test different wind angles and their effects.





Looking back from the 1,000 yard targets.



Testing should include various terminal ballistic media. There are advocates for wet and dry newspaper, water, gelatin, Corbin's SIMTEST, and others. Tried and like them all. After testing on these, complete testing by going into the field.

That's a superb setup! Inspiring, too. My compliments all the way around. You've given me some ideas for a setup I've been planning. Mine won't be that extensive, but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the pictures of a well-done plan.

I take it you don't own that many Savage 110's.

Guess wrong.

Savage 110 is a great vehicle for experimentation because of the ease and quickness of switching barrels and calibers.

Currently have 30+ Savage barrels ranging from 20 Tactical and 6/250 to 416 Taylor and 458 Lott.

Have a Savage action setup with aftermarket trigger on a McMillan stock and with a Nightforce scope.

Unbelievable! A very impressive and professional setup, I must say.

If you ever find yourself looking for a long lost relative to leave it to....I'm available

The next time my wife starts to think my reloading room is a little over the top I will show her your pictures. Quadruple WOW. Mart

Do you charge admission? I would pay to be able to play in that 'clubhouse' for a couple of days!

I didn't think anything would ever touch the "Accurate Reloading" set up!

Some of the rest of you guys can convince Hammer1 that Savages don't shoot. I'll just watch.
