would you mind sharing your load data for the 55g v-max?

hi ya, i've just received my new sako 85 varmint in 22-250...been out to the range today to run in the barrel and its a real straight shooter sub MOA out of the box. i tried some federal 55g soft points and some S&B 55g soft points and both shot well......i have some superformance hornady 50g...

well testing done....not good results really.....the 92 grain load touching the lands was terrible with accuracy dropping to 1.5MOA from 0.5 MOA with my SMK load.....early days in the process....so time to try some more variations.... also recoil was substantially more......so thinking about...

cheers did you try 92 grains?

I have loaded some development loads up for trail later today/tomorrow.... 91 - 92 gr of H1000 and almost touching the lands....3.045 using a comparater .....lands at 3.080 so pretty close for a start....i am single loading so no need to load for magazine length....although overalls don't look...

Hi there, i have a savage 110BA that i have restocked and bedded (photo attached) I have been shooting 300g SMK's through my 338 lapua and have been getting pretty good results but am thinking about changing over to Berger 300grains and upping my load for a bit more speed to take advantage...

Cheers fellas....i'll look into the EGW option.....Off to the range this weekend to try some new loads and clean up the rest of my old ammo.... was running 88.5 grains of H1000 with 300g SMK's... but now i have the new stock and intending to single load rather than load to fit the BA magazine...

Its 13.2lbs as you see in the photo.....so still solid but a lot better than 18 lbs!!

Next mod i want to look at is the scope rail......i have modified the standard 110BA rail to loose the side rails etc.....but now i have a 2.3 inch scope offset. Can anyone recommend a low profile 20 or 30 MOA rail that will bolt on?

Hi fellas, I finally found a new stock for my Savage 110BA from Stockade gunstocks - Kevin Rayhill. I liked the BA price...but never liked the tactical look.....not long after i brought the 110BA they released the FCP......i had no idea it was coming out.....or i would have waited and...

i have a 110BA....and have been having great success on animals here in New Zealand. i have just ordered a new stock from Stockade gun stocks and awaiting its arrival. my curretn load has been quite light: 88.5 grains of H1000 300 SMK loaded to 3.750 fed 215 primers gets me 2680fps and...

looks like these guys have them..... Stocks http://www.mannersstocks.com i am following up with both at the moment...i'll keep you posted

I have a 110BA in 338 lapua that i'm pretty happy with....except for its weight....it shoots great ...but is a bit heavy for climbing to the tops with..... does anyone know of any aftermarket or replacement stocks for these rifles? Savage brought out a 110FCP in 338 lapua magnum with a...

this is my ruger M77/44 subsonic project i'm working on at the moment.....just finished the machining and first couple of test fires......now disassembled and away for anodising before completing load development. But so far its looking great...i am currently running 300g hornady xtp's and going...

had my 110BA out in the weekend hunting on Fallow deer here in NZ took 4 animals - 220 - 723 - 747 - and 897 yards all with 300g SMK's, all one shot kills. rifles now had about 200 rounds thought it and seems to have settled its accuracy nicely down to 1.75 inch groups at 400 yards.....so less...
