    New Savage 112 338 lapua Reloading Questions

    I have the same rifle and have been shooting the 285 eldm with retumbo. I started to get heavy bolt lift around 93gr at around 2870fps. These loads were 20 thou off the lands. I have since settled on 91.5gr AR2225 (Retumbo) in Lapua brass neck then body sized, fed 215M primers seated 20thou from...

    Savage 112 338 Lapua Single Shot and Reloading Question

    I never had any issues related to brand of brass. I tried hornady a little and settled with lapua. I did find cartridges were hard to chamber and extract when neck sizing brass only. I now neck size then run through a body die and bump the sholder back 2thou. Feeds perfectly now. I ended up...

    Savage 112 338 Lapua Single Shot and Reloading Question

    I've had one for a while and it is easily one of my most accurate rifles i own. Consistently .5 Moa with hand loads. Price of your reloads really depends on your recipe. The cost of .338 bullets vary greatly depending on your intended use. I'm shooting hornday 285 ELDM. You should be able to...

    338 Lapua sizing issue

    I had the same problem with my savage 112. I ended up getting a redding body die to bump the sholder back 2thou after neck sizing. Everything feeds smoothly now. Also as others mentioned get yourself a headspace gauge. It is very useful

    Magpul AICS mags and dimensions

    I double checked my well used magpul 308 aics and it tops out at 2.8880". So i would be looking at loading at around 2.870" for reliability.

    Virgin Brass VS Fireformed brass

    Thanks a lot. That is really useful information. I didn't like the idea of wasting money fire forming but i guess nothing in the precision rifle game is cheap. I'll just use the fire forming process to figure out a better starting charge rather than using the starting charge from a loading...

    Virgin Brass VS Fireformed brass

    I just picked up 200 Virgin Palma 308 brass and would like to know how much of a difference there is from virgin brass to fire formed. I previously used Winchester once fired from factory loads in my rifle, so when i did load development on that batch of brass, it was already shaped to my...
