Yeah theyll fit if I remember from my factory barrel correctly. Maybe not touching, but I was loading .015 off and they fit in the mag.

Re: Lapua 300gr HPBT .338?
Odds are not even close unless you have a CIP length mag
measure the inside of your box mag and load .015 inside of that
to insure proper feeding. Good Luck

Not trying to flame you or anything but... Just a suggestion. Have you measured your chamber to determine the distance to the lands with the Scenars? The 110BA has the CIP mags 3.850". The Ogive design of the Scenar is not meant to be jammed or just off the lands, you will find around .010-.015" will work just fine. I load 2.980" (Ogive) or 3.713" COAL and they fly very well your rifle will tell you what it likes. My 110 BA loves them.

Sully, how is it going with your BA, did you re-barrel or did she come around?

To tell you the truth it must know it's getting an upgrade the last 2 times I've had it out it has performed better than it ever has with the H1000/300gr Scenars. Logging .5 to .75 at 800 and 1000 yds. When the weather clears i will take that load out to 2000. The upgrade should be complete by April as Mark Channlyn will have the barrel done and be ready to fit. Went to his shop last month and it was an amazing thing to witness him building his barrels.

Re: Lapua 300gr HPBT .338?
I finally got time to work in a load for the lapua
88.6 grain of H 1000
Berger 300 grn VLD
C.O.A.L 3.681 The VLD is so long it wont clear my chamber fits the C.I.P mag easy but has to be this short to chamber.
Fed. 215 primer
2738 FPS 10 FPS ES
.7" group at 200 yd. I was very happy with this load could be a tick faster but easy bolt lifts on remington action.
