[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2373026, member: 72440"] I had a Savage 110 in 300 win mag, I did a re-barrel project went with a 338 win mag, mostly due to availability of Ammunition and reloading components, it was an easy swap, less than 15 minutes. I never did any long range shooting with the 300 win mg due to the small diameter barrel, I had a 180 grain Nosler partition round that shot lights out for hunting, but was not a long range round. The 338 win mag with more aerodynamic bullets has been fun I am playing with a 265 Grn LR accubond that is pretty accurate out to 600 yards, probably further, but haven't shot further with it yet. This should be able to meet your criteria. The other option hindsight being what it is, you may want to consider a 33 Nosler it is a better option as far as longer range as it has more case capacity the COAL of a 33 Nosler is the same as a 338 win mag. My Savage already had the limbsaver, timney trigger, stock bedded, 20 MOA rail on it. I did scope out a Lapua swap but would have had to do other modifications as my Savage is an older top loading type. [/QUOTE]
