[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 704023, member: 10291"] Have you measured the outside neck diameter, it should be .365" using Lapua brass. Also, what s the distance to the lands. Mine, and my buddies rifles are 3.74-3.75". You might try seating your bullets a little deeper. Most of the Savage 338 LRH and FCP shooters I know including mine are seating the 300gr. Bergers 3.70-3.720" COL. Seating the bullets further from the lands doesn't seem to effect the accuracy with the Berger 300's, many times improving it. Maybe the bullets are too tight in the magazine making contact. I had this problem with my 375 H&H. You could also be deforming the bullet tips. just some thoughts. [/QUOTE]
