[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 698401, member: 10291"] Got the new Savage FCP 338 out to the range today. Loaded up 20 rounds. 14 with 89gr H1000, 3 at 89.5 and 3 at 90. Breaking in with one shot/ clean it was cleaning up fast after 8-9 rounds. Shot the rest for 3 shot groups at 100 yards. The 89 gr load was 1", the 89.5gr was .5" and the 90 gr, .4" with two shots just sbout in the same hole. Primers flattening some with 90 but there were no ejector marks or hard extraction. Seated the 300 gr Bergers .025 out of the lands. Looks like a shooter. I'll start refining and chronographing in a couple of weeks. I was very surprised with the recoil. Much lighter than I was expecting. It feels like a 300WSM. I was shooting in a t shirt. Pleasant to shoot. With the NF 5x22 G7 mounted it weighs 13 pounds. [/QUOTE]
