Savage 112 target magnum in 338 lapua. I was going to sell this barrel but I just couldn’t help but play with it. Loaded up a preasure test with h1000 and 300 gr bergers. Found a nice node at 2935. I’ll play with that till she levels out. The target accu trigger is nice. Set at 1.5lbs for now, may lighten it up a bit more. Brake definitely tames the recoil, was like shooting a 308

That’s moving for a factory 338 LM.my thoughts too. Had a slight crater of the firing pin but nice round conners and no ejector swipe. Bolt opens with one finger. 2975 has slightly stiff bolt lift and I backed off
Using magneto speed so I trust the speed

I would have expected you col to be quite a bit longer.it would be if I hadn’t sent yorke his unithroater back lol. This thing could be taken out quite a bit. Should have my new barrel ready to mount up in a couple months or so. May just ream this barrel to 33xc since I’ll have the dies and go/gage anyway

Dropped down to 94gr h1000 and 2816fps. With es of 3 and 1/2 moa.
This is where I'm at with H1000 and a 28" tube. Generally use rl33 or n570 to get up in the 2845-2870 range

Sweet! I have a T4 and like it but didnt find it better than 5 port mbm brake made in idaho for much less. With that rifle anything less than T5 hurts to think about.it helps when your an ogre, it’s more like an anvil behind the rifle than a person. :chuckle:
But it’s also nice to spot your own hits

Do you have an idea what kind of chassis you're looking for? It's tough to find them for single shot rifles.
Post by: jasnt on August 21, 2019, 09:06:58 PM
dosent need to be a single shot chassis. It will fit any la savage chassis with top bolt release. I’m only running front and rear action screws now and it shoots better than it did. Need long forend, adjustable length and cheek and buttpad cant. Wanted an other XLR evolution but they don’t do la savage. May go mdt and use XLR buttstock also looking at vendetta precision but they are new and no reviews plus this is their first run of chassis so I’m nervous but the price is low due to preorder. I’d like to keep it under 1400Been looking at getting a chassis for this thing but not liking the options.

I‘ve been looking at the bipods that some of these extreme long range shooters are using with their heavy guns.
What are you thinking for extending your bipod over the forend? Picatiny rail?

I've been thinking hard about a 416 Barret but I don't like the massive BMG actions. I had a reamer drawn up for a 458 off of the Barret case and I was very close to building it but found a good deal on a CheyTac action and got distracted. A 458 would give you more powder options, but fewer bullet choices.
Post by: jasnt on October 13, 2019, 05:50:17 PM
458 would have better splash. When you go that big there are really only a few good choices any way. 650gr Lazer would definitely kick some splash

That sounds like a lot of work to hand chamber a barrel. Curious to how aligned with the bore it ends up.last one I did Shot pretty good. The pilot follows the bore. It is a lot of work, but I enjoy it.

If your having misfires with CCI 250’s you most likely have something wrong with your ignition in the bolt. I would first check firing pin fall. Pretty easy to do. You want to me at least .240”. I have seen this happen with certain triggers and the action not being timed. It does effect accuracy as well.at .046 firing pin protrusion. Having the misfires in my 300wm aswell so I don’t think it’s the rifle. Both bad lots came from same store so I’m wondering if it’s a storage issue. Never had a problem with cci primers ever.

I've never run my 338 CT pistol over a chronograph for the same reason. I got my muzzle velocity by zeroing at 100 with a know bullet then measuring drops out to 600 yards. It's a pain, but it's been close enough to get me on target to 1800 yards within 2 shots.

I had a slightly wrong size shell holder in my priming tool I was tring to get by with and it scarfed case rims like that.thanks mw yup bad days happen. Can’t complain too much, I was in the mountains after all. Think my biggest problem was being in a rush to leave. Should have just loaded up the night before
