Hi all, I'm new to the forum, and taking my first steps to long range shooting. I have a Savage 110 FCP in .338 Lapua, sporting a Vortex 5-25 x 50 scope. I had it bedded, and a trigger job.

So I scored a bunch of pulled Bullets from Americanreloading.com, which I figure will be cheap training rounds. Also some SMK 300 grn. HPBT.

My questions are; what recipes do you guys like for the SMKs with the Savage 110? Are they a decent bullet for elk? Should I drop down to a lighter bullet?

I'm interested in eventually getting out to 1000 yards, I'm thinking this rifle will do that. Thanks in advance for any advice!
 
my old savage 111 lrh used to love 89.5 gr of retumbo and 300 gr smks.... milk jug at 1100 was cake!
