Starting a build

[cwy81]

I'm looking into starting a build on either a rem700 sa or a savage 10 sa. I've got my head spinning from reading through these forums. And I'm down to this question. When installing the barrel what is the proper way to headspace on an ignition system that uses the trimmed cases such as the arrowhead one. Planning on doing a brux .45 barrel with said plug. And dropping it in a McMillan stock. Aside from setting the headspace and torquing the barrel down. What other steps are there really or is it that simple.

I’ve built a couple based on info from this board. As you can tell it’s not as active as it used to be. Check out Smokeless Muzzleloader Shooters Group on Facebook - lots more activity over there.
I’ve got a Pac-Nor setup for a Savage small shank if you’re looking to screw something together and try out the world of smokeless.

Hard to beat the ease of headspacing a savage. The barrel nut makes it a piece of cake.
