Big game rifle

Did some load work and went out and shot it. Using H4350 and the 180 accubond I worked up to 58g from 57gr. I don't believe I can load anymore than 58gr as it's a pretty compressed load with the OAL that I have to work with.

It shot several of the loads really well but the 58gr load was the best. I'll run it over a chronograph later and see what kind of muzzle velocity I'm getting.

Beautiful Sako rifle and shoots groups like that. Don't get much better than that. If you miss, its not the rifles fault!!

I bet you would have to buy a dozen brand new rifles, before you could find one that would shoot close to that Sako.

Went out and ran that load over the chronograph tonight. I'm around where I'd like to be muzzle velocity wise (~2773fps) out of the 22.8" barrel. I'm going to load more up shoot and verify the accuracy.
