So saw people are using hodgdon H50BMG in the 338 lapua. So I wanted to try it out..and I was wondering what the load data would be for hornady 285gr bullets? Any thoughts would be awesome! Thanks!

I'll let ya know...I reload so the whole ammo thing kinda is what it is :) but I'm going to try a bunch of loads and see what the best is! And I'm using actual lapua brass, so that should help.

Thanks! Here are a couple more pics...

Yeah I see most guys shooting the long distances with stuff no more than 22 power. Mines an 8-32 simply because I got a good deal on it :) If I were to have bought a brand new one, I would have gone with a 5.5-22x56.

I actually bought it second had from a friend for $1500...but honestly i had it topped on my old 300 Rem Ultra Mag, and i never really took it past 20-22 power. Anything higher, like you said, starts to mirage, so i try not to zoom to much if i can help it!

thanks! yeah i'll give a report shortly. Its kind of been crazy weather here in NE ohio...so not really motivated to go out in 10-20 degree temps. But once I go, i'll surely let you know!

Well here she is! Came in yesterday...installed a 6-9in Harris Bipod on it, Using the stock rail from EGW for now...but put my NightForce NXS 8-32 on it with some Trijicon rings. Now...just waiting for the rest of my reloading stuff to come in!

Went kind of crazy the last couple weeks lol Going a whole new route at this point. Bought this, the Savage 110 FCP HS Precision 338 Lapua: Going to top it with the NightForce, going to use Warne rings on that one. Also building up my old Savage 116 300 RUM...just got an EGW full rail for it...

Hmm may be extreme...but i'll take my old Savage 116 BSS .300 Rem Ultra Mag...git er dun!

Well I have a Savage 116 300 RUM that I use for my over 1000 yard precision shooting, and i was looking at getting a 308 for everything under 1000-ish. So basically using it for target shooting. I like the feel of the tactical stocks on both...also, with the Rem SPS, im trying to determine if i...

and i know...its tactical, not tectical...whoops :-P

Looking at both these guns...only will be buying one. Both are 308 Win... Ruger M77 Hawkeye 308: http://www.ruger.com/products/m77HawkeyeTactical/specSheets/37108.html or Remington 700 SPS Tactical 308...

Wow thanks...that was pretty extensive and I appreciate the tips and advice! Actually the trigger and safety were never touched by me or anyone since I purchased the gun. I didn't buy it new, but everything worked perfectly fine for 3 years since buying the gun, then started acting up recently...

Well I guess maybe it would help to include a couple details about my current rifle...it has a couple issues...one being it is able to fire even when in the safety position, and if i load the mag full of rounds, when i chamber one, sometimes it decides it wants to fire itself. Yeah, not a safe...

So I do long range shooting and have a 12 year old Savage 116 .300 RUM, topped with a NightForce NXS 8-32x56. This guy: Been reloading that round for years now, and recently had an itch to maybe possibly switch to this rifle...the Savage 10/110 FCP HS Precision in a 338 Lapua Mag...
