Has anyone bought the 112 Magnum Target in 338 Lapua.
If so how do you like it?

I picked one up 6 months ago and love it!

I had found some 285gr amax for cheap ran them through with a mild load of H1000 just to zero/break in the barrel and fireform the brass. That one charge.. no load development at all shoots groups like this:

I'm now pushing 285gr elds at 2800 fps that shoots just as nice.
Another pleasant surprise, I'm able to spot my own impacts past 500 yards shooting from the bench. Prior to getting this rifle I was worried if the recoil/hop would make spotting impacts difficult but its no issue. Recoil is not bad, I think my 30-06 Axis is worse.

May I ask what powder and grains of powder are you using?
