Without a doubt - One thing I have learned, as I started off with two boxes of new Hornady brass…. TOSSEM.
Its a hard reality those with this rifle face as stuck brass/sticky bolt lift even at a lower 88g charge of H1000 is still a problem. I put thru 20 rounds of H1000 @ 88g as my sighters and the last 5% of bolt lift was a little tight. Switched over to the rest of the loads done in once fired Lapua stamped brass, in .5g increments, all the way to 92.0g of H1000 and perfect bolt lift and release.
I sat there amazed and acknowledged what I read in postings to be 100% true. Lapua stamped brass is the ONLY way to go with the Savage 110BA Rifle chambered in 338 Lapua Mag.
