I have also had good luck with RL16 with 215 Bergers. H4350 as well.

Varget, CFE223, Shooter World Precision, IMR 4064...Whatever is available...

Please post results when available. 338 Sherman will be getting a dose of these as well. Varget should be money. I have had good results with 6.5 Staball in it as well.

Have this one on a 6.5 Proof Sendero and it is pretty close to the same size, except for the nut. Another option is the Salmon River Solutions. They have a smoothe nut that blends pretty well. I have a few of them. https://www.salmonriversolutions.com/product/ti-pro-3-2/

Don't be afraid of Varget. I have sound it good in the lightweight Hammers.

Yeah, heavy rifles are fun...till they ain't...

Been down this road. First ever Savage was at the beginning of the pandemic (boredom). That is when I contacted McMillan and they were still inletting for Savage, actually so did Manners. Neither one anymore. HS Precision and Bell and Carlson are the only drop ins that I know of. BC for the...

Is this a blind mag? PP told me they only did inletting for the DBM.

Is the BM what came with the rifle? Was it previously in the HS precision stock/FCP? Curious as I have thought about trying to have that inletted for my McMillan, but not sure if I want to go that route and add another pound to it.

Those mags don't let you load long anyway. I made the 338 L a single shot. That one isn't getting shot at the rapid rate anyway.

Yeah, just have to use 270/280/ai brass to get proper length. 175 HH 64.5gr Varget, Peterson 280AI case, CCI 200 =- 3207 FPS 213 HH 66.5gr 6.5 Stabal, Peterson 280AI case, CCI 250 = 2843 FPS 57.5gr Varget CCI 200 = 2763 FPS All with a slight crimp from a Lee crimp die. I have...

This is what started it all for me...

Blind mag (not a fan of DBM for a hunting rig, just something else to forget/drop). The 338L started out with HS Precision and the factory DBM. When it migrated to the McMillan, I went blind mag. Unfortunately they do not inlet for these anymore. I had to send them the BA to get them to do...

For lightweight I think you have what is available up above. For inexpensive, I went with one of these after having McMillan inlet one for an older 110 flat back. Migrated it to another 110. Not lightweight, but not terrible...

The one 175 HH we put into the WT doe this year never moved except straight down with the 338 Sherman.
