For sure!
And 10 rounds was about all my shoulder could take.
Really? I put 40 through it and didn't find it bad at all

The beast (on the "shooting picnic table" which we use when the snow makes it a PITA to do prone). My buddy with his 300WM in the background.
Near target (both of us were sighting in our scopes today) is 50 yards. Far target is 100 yards.
Not bad for cheap ammo and 30Mph gusts shooting from a wobbly picnic table. This is the 100 yard target.
Big holes are the .338LM

Great rifle! Just picked one up on Friday. I put 40 rounds through it and didn't find the recoil bad at all

I've got a Savage 10 Precision Carbine (heavy barrel), which is a "police" rifle (part of Savage's Law Enforcement series). Came with a good scope and is quite accurate. Has a threaded barrel for a brake (which is a bit funny given the relatively little recoil of the round) or I imagine you could fit it with a silencer where allowed.

I've been very happy with its performance and consistency shooting even inexpensive Winchester "varmint" rounds (JHP's).

Great to hear, I'm going to start reloading mine too so it is nice to see somebody on here has had some success with this cartridge
