Re: Savage 110 BA .338 LM questions On my 110BA I use the Badger Ordnance Marine Corps issue SASR rings....perfect clearance...just enough room for flip up caps on my Nightforce 5.5-22x56....Read about them...about the best you can get...not one problem, and they didnt need lapping, they fit...

Re: hsm ammo for 338 When I first got my .338 LM, I bought the HSM with the 300 grain Berger hybrid bullet....It worked pretty fair out to 1000 yards. The ammo is fairly expensive, and I started reloading...I ladder tested a lot of different loads and found one that suited my rifle and...

Re: Hornady Lock N Load primer seating problem for 223 Holy crap!!! The dime, or Nickle trick worked!!! I am totally impressed and stoked! I was so frustrated that I had to walk away after spending an hour messing with the damn thing, that something so simple and easy never occurred to...

Hey all...I just loaded a few hundred .45 ACP rounds with no problem....I just tried to load .223 and set everything up well...I swapped out the primer feed to accommodate the small primers, and when a piece of brass gets sized, it moves to the priming station, and the primers do not seat all...

The reload manuals cal for a 2.714" trim length....I know you want to be accurate and consistent, but how long can you let the case get before the need to trim? I shoot a Savage 110BA, and have great fun shooting to 1,500 yards, but I have been trimming to the 2.714 specs....Can I get away with...

Re: Redding Dies. Which Ones???? Never had any problems with the Redding Comp dies.....I use Hornady, RCBS, and Lee for most of my stuff, but for my comp rifle I use the Redding stuff...I like the Type S full length sizer, and the Competition Seating die, I also have the neck sizer and it...

Re: 5.56mm/.223 Trimming Thank you all for the info....I think if I trim one time and keep MY brass Ill have to trim a lot less....just for 5.56mm.....I tend to trim my .338LM to keep it consistent at matches and for XLR shooting.

Someone told me, and I'm pretty new to reloading, that I don't need to trim my brass every time, unless I am shooting a bolt gun and going for accuracy....My rounds are just for plinking in my AR15 and Mini-14. I do trim my .338 LM rounds, as I am going for extreme accuracy and consistent loads...

Re: Loading for accuracy (.338 LM) Thanks a lot for the input guys....kinda what I figured! I have not tried the Scenars, I would like to....I have to master these Bergers first! I like Lapua Brass best, Hornady is good too,,,,The HSM, i am not sure of, its less money, any luck with that...

Hey guys, I can fit a COAL of 3.76 inches in my magazine, but using my comparator, to be 20thou off the lands I need to be 3.85 inches.....too long to fit in the mag, which takes away from the rifle, and doing tactical shoots where speed and maneuverability matters...I found a load that shoots...

Re: 338 Lapua H1000 capacity I use H1000 and the 300 grain bergers....I found in my rifle that it likes 89 grains....I go with the group size over velocity, as the bullet remains supersonic for so long, and 1000 yards is not hard for this round to travel....My COAL is 3.75" and theres plenty...

Re: Savage 338 Lapua and general questions If anyone is interested, I load tested this weekend with my BA 110....I used Federal Match Large Magnum Primers, HSM Brass, A COAL of 3.750", and the best load was 89 grains of H1000...Oh yeah I was using Berger 300 grain Gen 2 Hybrids..I was just...
