Looks like I'll be picking up my 110BA .338 LM on Friday. Bought it on Gunbroker for $1800. Just plain got tired of waiting for the local dealers to get some action from their distributors.
As these rifles are starting to get out to the public, it would be good to have an organized thread to discuss loads. I'm personally not sure where to start. I've got 100 new Lapua cases, and 100 Berger 300gr Hybrids. The H1000 and the VV N570 are on the way, though I really don't know what kind of weights to load, nor OAL to the ogive. I'm thinking the Winchester LRM primers I have on hand ought to be good enough, but I'd surely like to hear what the community has to say.
I think this rifle is going to be amazing. With the input from the F/TR team, and the extra effort put into an already very accurate Savage rifle system, I think the only limits will be the loads and the shooter. I expect the rifle to outshoot my ability.
I've had a new Premier Reticles 5x25 56 scope in the closet since early February. Now to fine tune the loads, and find a 1000 yard range!
Any data on load work-ups, and accuracy results would be great to have.
Thanks for the help,
Chip
