This guide details an expert-level durability test comparing various high-caliber firearms against a 55lb cast iron anvil. The experiment, conducted by Kentucky Ballistics, highlights the destructive power of .50 BMG APIT and API rounds, which caused significant structural damage, while other calibers like .338 Lapua and .308 Winchester created superficial craters. The assessment emphasizes the anvil's remarkable toughness and the specific performance differences between ammunition types and rifle platforms.
This review of the Savage 111 Long Range Hunter in .338 Lapua Magnum, presented by Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, details initial range testing and identifies several critical issues. While the rifle demonstrated excellent accuracy with a tight group at 100 yards, significant mechanical problems were encountered, including magazine feeding failures and a loose factory rail after minimal use. Cosmetic flaws, such as peeling stock coating, were also noted, though Savage customer service was responsive. The review highlights the importance of thorough inspection and potential post-purchase adjustments for this model.
