    Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338

    Re: Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338 I might have to scoot down there and check it out. Is there any motorhome camping nearby?

    Range Report 338 LM Chronograph Readings

    Re: 338 LM Chronograph Readings I have gotten my unit properly set up now. The unit was not folding completely flat and definitely giving me slightly skewed readings. As to it's accuracy compared to the Oehler I can't really say without having a side by side comparison. I don't have my notes...

    Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338

    Re: Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338 It is definitely a shooter. The recoils is not bad at all. It has a very effective brake on a 26" fluted barrel. It may be the same barrel as the BA, not sure. I know the BA chassis is a lot heavier. The rifle still weighs about 11 lbs with the 5.5 X 22...

    Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338

    Re: Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338 Sorry for the confusion. I have a Savage 110 in the HCS Precision stock, not BA. The BA was too heavy for my use in hunting. I actually went on line and bought 2, One for $1,225 and the other for $1,250. They were scarce at the time so I ordered 2 to make...

    Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338

    Re: Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338 Elk hunting in Wyoming was the intention for my Savage so you have hit it on the head. It is heavy enough to make shooting pleasant but light ennough to pack in the mountains.

    Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338

    Re: Savage 110 ba or armalite 30m338 Can't help you much other than to say I have a Savage 110 in 338 and it is a shooter. .5 MOA groups out of a $1,200 gun is hard to beat and with the weight, balance and muzzle brake it is a pleasure to shoot. Good luck.

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? Sounds like a pretty good plan and appears the results speak for themselves. I may have to give that a try on my next re-barrel.

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? Dave helped me with a reamer for my 375 CT "Improved" and did a nice job on reamers for both chamber and reloading. Dave is pretty careful NOT to offer up too much opinion. He will cut anything you ask for, and he definitely gave me a couple parameters he would not...

    110 BA 338 LM

    Re: 110 BA 338 LM Is there any information about whether these Bergers, or SMK's or Scenars for that matter, have any amount of controlled expansion? SMK's are hollow point boat tails and I always wondered if that equated to any significant expansion as it relates to a hunting round. Given...

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? 402, Are you having Dave Kiff grind you a reamer or does your smith already have one? Just curious as I may tinker with a rebarrel in my future.

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? That sucks. It sounds like you are probably on to something about your barrel and chamber. I did a very careful break in (1 shot clean, 1 shot clean, for 20 rounds then a few groups of 3 and clean, etc) and so far it seems to be a decent barrel. I only have about...

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? 402, The 250 Bergers are requiring you to be .164 off the lands to fit in your mag? In my Savage 110 HS I can seat a 300 Scenar out to the lands and still have about .060 room in the mag. Do you find the Bergers to be a better bullet in your weapon. Just...

    Need more 375 ct info..

    Re: Need more 375 ct info.. I am with ELR, it's all about the bullet. My 375 is a Lawton 1:10.5 and was intended for 350 SMK's and 370gr Rocky Mtn for hunting.

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? You are correct. I was only saying if your headspace was excessive to the shoulder, and you had a ton of jump, there is nothing to keep the case from moving forward from firing pin strike. If your headspace is correct the bullet jump has no effect on your brass...

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? I think you misunderstood. Your statement of being .164 off the lands is quite possibly a contributing factor. The more the round can move forward from the firing pin strike, the more potential stretch on every round. I had this happen when I first started really...

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? I think you are experiencing the results of too much shoulder bump in combination with bullet distance from the lands. Basically at the moment of firing the pin drives the loaded round forward to the shoulder or projectile making contact, stopping the forward...

    Shooting Chrony replacement parts

    Re: Shooting Chrony replacement parts It is even worse when you have your 375 CT cranked up for 1,600 yards and, being a dumbass and forgetting that, you put a round through your Crony at 15' and cut the far side diffuser in half by perfectly hitting the edge! I have an e-mail in to Chrony...

    110 BA 338 LM

    Re: 110 BA 338 LM FYI I went through some load development with my 110 and 300 SMK's and walked from 85 gr of H1000 to 90gr where I got ejctor marks so 89.5 gr is my max with H1000. It is coincidentally my most accurate grou load as well. I got up to 92.5 gr of Retumbo (I will check my notes...

    realistic Expectations 338 LM

    Re: realistic Expectations 338 LM That seems pretty subjective but i would think a 12" group at 1,200 yards on a calm day without too much mirage should be achievable. I would imagine there are guys out there who would tell you they can keep it under 10" at that range. This will be...

    Beginning reloader has questions.

    Re: Beginning reloader has questions. No need to aplogize for asking a question. Dont let these crusty bastards rattle you. Resizing to restore the concentricity of your neck makes sense but neck turning is primarily intended to clean up wall thickness deviations in the brass. Just an...
