    Bringing back my 338 Savagae 110BA for refund

    Shoots good at 100 yards but is all over the place at 300 I had a guy that owns a local gun store try it and he could not get it to group at 300. Ammo missfires or sticks all the time. I have trimmed cases to 2.714" and resized, 285grain Hornady bullets(3.625" OAL) seems to shot ok but today i...

    338 lapua Hornady 285 vs HSM 300

    Re: 338 lapua Hornady 285 vs HSM 300 Chris, HSM 300 grain bullets. My Savage would not shoot these (misfire) so i pulled the bullets out of the cases, trimmed and reloaded the cases using the 300 HSM bullets i pulled out. The factory cases were too long for the Savage.
