[sav338lapua]

here is my new savage 110ba .338 lapua magnum.
it shot 1/2" at 100 yards with hornady factory 250 gr hpbt ammo on initial sight-in. am working up 300 gr sierra's so hope to have it out soon.

Beautiful Rifle, How did you find it? I have only found the 110 BA in 300WIN and they offered 1. Help us crack the code!

Re: new savage 110ba .338 lapua magnum

well i ordered it in febuary and it handles real well, very heavy with scope and bipod. the accutrigger is sweet. have a hawke 4.5x14x42 mildot scope on it. never saw anyone use one so i thought i would try it out so far it working really good.
shot 1/2" at hundred yards with hornady factory ammo, but the first 2 shots were the same hole. recoil is light for this cartridge, between the weight and the muzzle brake i can shoot this all day long. you'll have to ask the guy that was sitting next to me when i shot how well the muzzle brake works lol!!!
will keep you updated on its progress

Glad to see someone has one of these and to hear it is performing well. Truth be told I want to get into the .338LM game but I don't have $4k to spend. I got a gunrag that has it on the cover so I could check it out but I haven't read it yet.

For anyone ready to buy one now I just saw one on Gunbroker today.

I look forward to any updates you have to offer as you use it more.

Nice! I've been eyeing the same gun in 300wm. The 338 is nice but I can't justify $3-5+ for the ammo. How much do you estimate your handloads will cost per round?

Re: new savage 110ba .338 lapua magnum

hands loads are a crap load cheaper

Here in australia, where prices are freaking high as... i could reload each shot for less than $1.50 AU not including the brass... not sure on the brass life, but im guessing if you anneal the brass you could get at least 10 shots out of each shell...

100 x .338 LM brass = $395 AU / 1000 total reloads from the brass = $0.395 or 40cents.

I will round it up nicely and say i could probably load up a round for an average of around $2 AU per round... thats about $1.80 US

thats not all that bad in my opinion... over here a .17HMR rimfire round costs about $0.50 cents... so that works out to 1 handloaded .338 Lapua Magnum being = to 4 x .17 HMR
