Only a douche would shoot a .375 when sensible 9.53's are available :P
I've been around too many Australians who try to make fun of my accent
I have met some Ockers I genuinely cant understand and they get pissed because I question what they said all the time.
I can say that about some North Islanders as well but.

I have a 110 FCP 338, shoots well with Hornady 285 grainers 2830 FPS with 2217. Hope that doesn't get me shot down. (Ducks for cover)
Hi Herb ,
Whats the BC on that 285gr Hornady ? , as I had a feeling the BC was not as good as they thought it would be ?
Later Chris
Think you be ok for about ten days Herb lol
.68 ish from something I read, from memory
I've had a few boxs of the 285s for ages but never shot them.
They look very similar/the same as the 300 SMK, but a more open nose.
B Litz reckons .699 G1 & .358 G7, so pretty close to Hornadys numbers.
They are apparently very accurate, but I'm not sure how they go on game ? esp at low speed.
The 300 Gen I Berger is very good on game at low speed, but isn't mag friendly, the 285 is I imagine.
I have been using a G7 on the 285 of .360 and it seems pretty good out to 900. I haven't tried them on game yet but I do intend to. As to the Savage 110 FCP it has exceeded my expectations. I get around .6 MOA at 200 yards, the Hornady is the most accurate projectile and at maximum mag length it is spot on to be just on the lands in my gun. Just looking at the 285's it looks like they have been through a pointing die as the noses are perfect and exactly the same bullet to bullet. I compare this to the Gen 2 Berger's and they are a bit different in the nose from bullet to bullet.
I feel that I can up the load with the 285's as I have no sticky bolt lift & no flat primers, 2870-2900 may yet be attainable. I have only done a small amount of load development and its likely there is more to be had.
A quick plug for my mate Stacey at Hamills in Tauranga, he has an 110 FCP 338 on the shelf, $2399, not an import, full factory warranty.
Yeah mate ,Stacey is a good man .If id known he could get them for that price i would have got one through him , they had a 110 ba 338 for $3890 so I thought the fcp would have been expensive as well- I should have asked him eh. Never mind. Iv just got new dies and 50 new brass + some 300 sierras - through stacey and just got to get some 2217 and some time for reloading and testing.:)
SWEET! What scope are you planning on?
Checking prices, but had to get the Savage at that price first. Will be looking at NF & Sightron.
Have two other rifles to finish before I do too much with the Savage, but couldn't resist it at that $'s ;)
Haven't got my hands on it yet either, it's on it's way down.
I have an S111 on another rifle, but have yet to look thru it at long range to check it against my NF.
More new toys wahooooo! :)
Red I put a Sightron on my Savage, pretty happy so far. A chap was selling a Sightron and a Mk4 on the IMAS forums.
Starting to get a fair collection there red
Gonna have to import a select few to the coast for a bomb up on the steel at some atage QUOTE
Love to mate, but got to get this fargin knee fixed first.
Tussock. I'm gunna stick a condom on the end of it so it'll safe to tell everyone to get fu*#ed ! :P
. . . . . also my sincere apologies to Savage1 for the most thoroughly hijacked thread ever :oh noes:
Did you even get any real answer to your original questions ??
If I do I know from experience I will be wanting them :P happens every time...:oh noes:
Can Quentin get you some ?
If you want some I might be able to get some.
I would look at the 300 SMKs first if you want economical pills, that are well proven on game.
They should fit the mag a lot easily than the Bergers.
The Scenars shoot very well, 250s or 300s, the 250s will be nicer to shoot with the factory brake as well, but don't use them on game.
Lol you are getting better :thumbsup:
Agreed don't look through a S&B, IOR, Premier, MK4 or VX3/III & a NF because you might be disappointed with the glass & the max mag of 22.
But they work very well & very seldom fail under any amount of sustained abuse, dials are absolutely repeatable & can be had for around half the price with much more internal elevation than a moa S&B.
The reticles are great esp the NPR1 :)
Tussock, if you wana get a rise start trying to bag 375s :cool:
Stick the 285s in the bin and buy some of the million 300 OTM I have :D
285 all the way. Just go and read the article on Snipers Hide.
Red try this link. http://www.sportshooter.co.nz/forum/...php?f=10&t=111

The crown is all burred, Red. Send it to me with some ammo and I'll true up a new one for ya. Could have it back to you in a few months if I rush it. Ammo just to accuracy test of course.:thumbsup:
Cool, I'll send it up tomorrow. . . . . .YEAH RIGHT ! :P
The salesman here(I had it sent from hamills Tauranga to hamills here) just had to show me the Sako 338 he had for sale. Well, talk about chalk and cheese, it was like comparing a Gun shitty shotgun to a Kreighoff, but it was $6400, only $4000 dearer !:wtfsmilie: So i'm very happy with my deal :thumbsup:
Apparently it's one of only 5 bought into the country, and the last one will be at the Sika show, so can't see them being at that price again :oh noes:
Red
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Savages were never pretty like Sako's but I reckon that there is a sort of form meets function beauty to the big girl. BTW The brake seems pretty effective, I don't notice the recoil.
