Anyone got any good compares for 300 win mag vs 338 Lapua. I'm thinking about getting a Savage 110 BA. I've always been a fan of distance shooting and want to get into 500+ yards. Looking for some advice.

>500+ yards
Get the .300WM. Better still, get a 7mm Rem Mag, or a 6.5CM.
The utility of the .338 isn't yet realized at these distances. $90 a box, and frankly the cartridge demands an extremely heavy and well built rifle to perform well.

unless ur taking large game with this @ 500+ go with 6/6.5 creedmoor its cheaper and will be good from 100-1400yds while costing significantly less per shot, less recoil so you can trace your shots to target and has a bit better bbl life compared to 300wm, by about 500-1500rounds depending on your shooting schedule.

300WM is the more practical of the two, cheaper ammo and a wider variety of rifles. I've had an old Weatherby in 300WM for a long time and its quite a lot of fun seeing just what you can belt the shit out of at long ranges
338 is still at the point where its not really tipped into economical shooting for regular folks, great round but its really not for entry level distance shooting
7mm R.E.M. Mag, but if we are being honest a big caliber and savage 110 isn't needed until you get past a kilometre. I do tons of 800m stuff with my durr rifle (savage model 14 in 7mm08). Also what glass you thinking of getting?

You should watch Rex's YT series if you haven't, it's very thorough and informative.
