    @buzzman, is that a Sako in 7mm Rem Mag? If it is maybe @Gibo can tell us if the velocity is correct as my Tikka shoots 2900ft/s with 69.5gn of 2217 behind 162gn Amax's.

    Please keep us updated.

    Cheers, Mac

    About right, mine is 72gns 162 A-Max doing 2950. If it shoots well don't try and chase 100fps to get to 3000fps even if you like the number

    For these 168gn projectiles i use 2225, i was shooting 168gn Sierra MK out of a Tikka Varmint 22" barrel at 3080ft/s avg., is that "correct" or expected Gibo?
