What OAL are you guys loading for your 110ba's?
Are y'all just loading mag length, shorter, or having to load one at a time?

loading mag length with 300SMK's - they handle the jump just fine

Re: Loading for savage 110ba
I'm loading 300gr bergers into the lands, which requires me to be much longer than mag length.
Mag length loads produced worse SD's and groups for me so I didn't go with it. I figure that the distances I'm using this at, I can reload it manually and send off another one before the first even hits anyways.

That's what I'm playing with now, would you mind posting up your 'recipe'?

300gr bergers
Lapua Brass
92.8 gr retumbo
federal 205m primers
seating .015 INTO the lands
So far this load has proven to be great.

Re: Loading for savage 110ba
Just looked and it's actually .013 into the lands... So to account for variation it's between .01 and .015.
Start off with a lower charge in your rifle, putting the bullet into the lands can result in a lot of pressure.

What is the OAL when you start kissing the lands?
I'm loading my 250gr accubonds to mag length, but when I step up to 300 gr I won't mind loading one at a time

You'll need to get an 'overall length gauge' ($35) it would be super dangerous to use somebody else's chamber dimensions to create loads.
