[QUOTE="youngbuck, post: 567053, member: 22987"] I got slight extractor marks with H-1000 around 92gr. My 91.9gr load ran about 2840 fps, nothing real fast, but fast enough. I'll probably settle around 91.5gr. My max COAL for the mag is 3.765. That's still around 30-40 thou off the lands in my rifle with the 300 OTMs. None of my loads have shot poorly, around 1MOA on everything I've loaded, just 300 OTMs and h-1000 though. I'm still looking for a sweet spot with velocity and closer to 1/2MOA accuracy. My ES has been fairly low, the highest so far was less than 30fps, and that was during break in, cleaning after every round. My most recent batch I loaded over mag length to see if there is any benefit. I have read multiple reviews that groups shrink up when you hit 100-150 round count in these Savage barrels. I'm just under 100 round count. I'm hoping to shoot some more this weekend while scouting, if the wind lays down. Definitely let us know how it goes with the 300 OTMs. During initial break in I ran 89gr h-1000 and was getting over 2700FPS with in between 1/2-1MOA accuracy. I'm hoping to find that accuracy again with a little more velocity. I skim bedded the rifle, but haven't shot it enough since to see any improvement. I got a load shooting close to 1MOA and hauled the gun as a back up for some late October Coues hunts I helped on. I hauled my dad's 7mag instead of my 338LM on my girlfriends Coues hunt. If I can get the 338LM shooting like the 7mag, (1/2 MOA) I'll be in business. I've had a 300RUM for years. Shooting the Lapua at 1k+ is pretty impressive, even on rocks. Complete new ballgame over my RUM. There is a GIANT smack way out there on impact. [/QUOTE]
