Savage Breech Plug?

[gunny]

I picked up a torch cleaning tool the tip that miked at .0275 if i read the mike properly or would it be .02705 does anyone know the number of the tip? It was a blue cased Hobart kit tool. This is a new factory plug that came with the gun. I did,nt think the vent hole was that small on a new vent?

I always thought the factory vents were like .031".

Ken,

I believe your right with .031" for the Savage vents.

gunny,

I have the same blue cased welding torch tool as you.
The tip you want to use is the middle one. The tip is 7 i from either side. This should be the .031".
You can double check with your micrometer.

If it is that small rejoice! I recieved several in the .28-.29 range from Wakeman and and liked them.they were accurate and lasted much longer...

Upon further review i measured the one that i inserted into the file area After inserting No.7 tip measurement was .031 [ Just use the tips ,not the file area?] I measured the next larger and the tip was .0355. Now at .0355 would this be the time to discard? I'm learn,in ;D

I use .033" ventliners and discard them when they open up to .035". Accuracy suffers beyond that for me.

Gunny........they will still probably work OK up to .036 or .037 but results I think, get marginal. So if your going to the range (your back yard) to shoot, then you might have to change vents in the field. ;D Better off to just put in a new one. When you look at the overall cost of bullets, sabots, powder and primers, a few vent liners per year are relatively cheap!
