I use IMR 4350 for my 338 wm I load the 225, 250, and 300. All with good results. For the Hornady 225 SXT bullets I use 67gr. with an AOL of 3.337 and have 3 shoot groups at 100 all touching. The 250 are also Hornady SXT bullets which get 67.5 grs. of 4350 with an AOL of 3.363. For my 300 I use...

I have a Newcon 1500 and it works well enough for the money. It will wash out in strng sunlight but not many of them won't. I have used it to eange out to 1250 yards it was partlt cloudy but it worked fine. In my op for the bucks you can't go wrong.

I'd get the Savage 116 Bear Hunter in 338 Win Mag. I have one and it shoot like a house on fire. Clovers at a 100 and 3 at 600 yds.

Thanks good read. Makes me feel better.

Well fell into a cheap 300 Win Mag was a Stevens 200 had not a box shot down the pipe. Honest round count as I knew the guy. Well my goal was to make this a LRG for as cheap as I could get away with and not end up sleeping outside for the rest my life. So bought the rifle for $100.00 next...

Don't have an 06 but do have a Savage Model 116 in 338 Win Mag it's the Bear Hunter came with adjustable muzzle break. My friend and I shoot long range right now we are getting set up to shoot a mile plus.

Last group of scopes I purchased where the WOTAC's made by Wonder Optics. The scope I choose are the 4 x 14 x50 I use them to well past a 1000 yds. I have 60 year old eyes and they seem to work for me. I have a friends that have some of the high dollar scopes and I really can't tell the...

I don't have the 338 Lapua Mag but I did just buy a Savage 116 Bear Hunter in .338 Win Mag. Has a 23 inch barrel with Savages adjustable muzzle break. You sure can tell the difference when it's open or closed LOL. Any back on track I have 6 of the WOTAC scopes there 4 x 14 x 50mm , have 80 MOA's...

I have a bunch of micro tears in my shoulder what has helped me is I got myself a shooting vest. Then added a piece of 1/4 sleeping matte behind the padding that is already there I can now shoot for hours without much discomfort you might give it a try.

Taking a test doesn't make you safe or proficient. All of that comes with time you study to take your driving test with all the answering the book I'm guessing you studied from a book or the INTERNET to take the gun test all that says is you can read and take a test. You learn safety from other...

I use one piece bases so as to not put the scope in a bind. When I started out doing this customers would bring my scopes that had 25 , 30, 35 Mao's total well that isn't enough for a 1000 and the big guns well just weren't around here. So if like most small town someone had a scope with 35...

I have 20 MOA bases on all my rifles and have gained in some cases as much as 35 MOA's. How?? I shim the rear of the base enough to have just enough that when I come back to zero I can go past and then come back up to my zero. This way I am always working on the same side of the nut. Beside it...

I use a Lee Load Master not the fastest but works good enough for me. I don't need to turn tons of ammo at a time. I can run about 50 to 75 rounds of .308 and hour which is good enough for as often as I get to shoot. I load for all the rounds I shoot which is 10. So maybe some day I may need a...

I have a Stevens 7 mm Rem Mag I use 150 gr. Wolf Gold Line ammo and the rifle shoots 5/8 inch groups at 150 yds. clean barrel dirty barrel for this rifle makes no difference. Most of my Savages are this way I have an older 110 Savage .223 Tactical it shoots 1/4 inch all day long. The key is...

Just got my Savage Model 116 " Bear Hunter" SS barrel and action, 23 inch barrel medium heavy contour with Savages muzzle break. Well the new model action is so long the regular long action single piece scops mounts are about 1 inch to short so needed to go with 2 piece. Will get out in the am...
