I bought the model 111 long range hunter in the 338 lapua. Best rifle I have ever bought. Here is the results when breaking the barrel in.

That they did! I am really surprised at how well it shoots with only 6 rounds going down that tube. I can't wait until I get back in town and get to try it out to at least 500 yards. After I get the reloading stuff I will be posting pictures of targets shot at 1000 yards. I am going to give the...
I have a winchester 7mm wsm as well. Give H4350 a try. It took my groups from 1 inch at 100 yards to under 1/2 moa at 100 yards. I have used this rifle for a couple 1000 yards shots with H4350 and 168 grain berger target vld bullets. Good luck, and welcome to the forum!
Scotty, I am extremely impressed with this rifle. I would rather shoot this 338 lapua instead of my 7mm wsm because the recoil of the 338 is around a 243 win with 55 grain NBT. The recoil of the rifle is more of a shove that a sharp kick. I will be putting the bullet data into my exbal today and...
Well I finally made it out to the range to start the break in on the new savage model 111 LRH in the 338 lapua mag. I don't have the reloading stuff yet so I bought a box of 285 grain hornady match bullets to start the break in. I am warning Scotty right now not to look at the pictures below...
I am also thinking about trying some of these bullets out for the long range target.

They are 309 grains with a BC of 1.216 :twisted:
But this rifle only has a 1:9 twist rate so they might not work, but they are worth a shot.
It will be for both. Since I have used the 168 grain berger target vld on game with excellent results I am thinking the 300 grain berger hybrid should produce the same results but with a lot bigger bullet and at longer distances.
Thanks Scotty, I am really eager to put some rounds down the tube and see how she will do. From all the reviews I have read about this rifle she should be a real shooter!
Hey guy's finally got her home but it's not the 110 BA. I had to settle on the savage model 111 LRH in the 338 lapua due to the selection at the stores. I am thinking about putting some 300 smk's and some 300 grain berger hybrid bullets through her. Here is a few pictures if you haven't already...
Hey guy's just wanted to share what I picked up last night. It wasn't the exact one I wanted but due to any of the stores around here not having one I thought this would fit the bill nicely.
Savage model 111 Long Range Hunter in the 338 LAPUA MAG. It is now mounted with a vortex viper 6.5-20x50...
Hey guy's I'm about to pick up a new savage model 110 BA in the 338 lapua here in the next few weeks. Just wondering what are some of your loads that you use in yours. I will also be putting a US Optics scope on this big pig as well for the long range work. Thank you
