[QUOTE="NZsavage, post: 535384, member: 36080"] Hi there, i have just brought a Savage 110BA in 338 lapua. i have had it for about one month and fire approx 150 rounds through it doing load development and just practicising/getting used to a new rifle. i used to shoot a Sako Varmint in 300winmag and although a very nice gun capable of sub MOA groups......and proven in the feild with a 962 yard one shot kill on a stag.....the round was not as stable as the 338 in the breeze. the Savage took approx 70-80 rounds to settle into decent groups.....the first few cleaning sessions showed reasonable copper fouling....but now its great and cleans easily. The load i have settled on is as follows: 300grain Sierra Match King Lapua brass Federal 215 magnum primers 88.5 grains of H1000 loaded overall length of 3.75inches (95.25mm) this load produces 2615fps and is very mild to shoot.......i like the load as it is not anywhere near max load but shoots 0.5-0.8MOA tested at 400,800 and 1000 yards. Although i;m not a great shooter and at the 0.8MOA end of the scale out at 1000yards.......i have a freind who is a great shot and he is sub 0.5MOA with this load. i'm also hoping that with the relatively light load that i will get a few extra loads out of the expensive lapua brass. hope this helps [/QUOTE]
