Looking for others currently shooting 110 FCP HS or BA in 338 lapua

Hello,
I'm looking for other shooters currently shooting the 110 FCP HS or BA rifles in 338 Lapua mag. I would like to hear experiences both good and bad. Also any failures NOT related to user error, like the fellow that left a cleaning rod in his gun. Any chambers cracking or bolts failing, sticking brass or extractors not working. Please let me know what you got and what ammunition you are shooting.
I am reloading with Lapua brass, Fed match magnum primers, Moly 250gr Nos AB & Moly 300gr Lapua SC, IMR 7828 85gr-250AB & 79gr-300LpSC.
I am ultimately trying to figure out if the issues that these rifles had when they first rolled off the line are still present with newer models. The only issue I have found so far, is horrid tooling marks inside the barrel that causes thick copper buildup. Henceforth the use of impact plating moly on bullets I use now. Cuts down on cleaning and helps accuracy.
Thanks,
Don

I am currently shooting the 110 FCP in 338. Zero problems thus far. I have been shooting a mixture of S&B 300gr, Thunder ammo 230gr brass and Tactical Ammunition 300gr SMK. Only had it out to 600 but rang the gong every single time.

The only thing I have found, as you mentioned, is some concentric ring tooling marks just inside the muzzle on the rifling.

I only picked this rifle up about a month ago. New in Box.

Thanks for the info. Do you have a round count so far? Also do you know what your rifles DOM is?
I should mention my DOM is Feb 18, 2014. You can get your DOM with a phone call to Savage with your serial number.
Anyone else with these rifles, please give your input.
Thanks,
Don

I had a Savage 110 FCP HS Precision in 338 and sold it even without shooting 1 round

I was only reading the bad things . . . . should have kept . . .

So time for another 338 Lapua soon
