    Does anyone know if Sako brought them out in 1:12 or is he measuring wrong?
    If it is is 1:11, am I right in thinking stick to the 178-185 grain region for his load development? I shoot 208gr in my Tikka 1:11 but I know a lot of guns won’t stabilise these heavier pills.
    Cheers
    Sako and Tikka barrels are the same if the 208 shoots in one why do you think it won't shoot in the other?
