    Well iv tried 2217, 2225, 2209 and re22, with 162 amax, Norma brass federal magnum primers, just touching. Going to try some 160 accubond and see if that makes a difference. So far with 2217, 2225 and re22 the groups have all been about 2 inch or more. It seems to like the 09 as every grain interval shot under an inch which is abit promising?

    Some 7RM Sakos don't like the 162, their twist rate at 9.5 can be on the edge of being a little slow.

    The 160 ABs will hopefully sort your issues
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    Yes -but are poor killers of light thin skinned game like Sika, so then the 150 Nosler Ballistic Tip is the next best projectile compared to the amax when the twist rate isn't your friend.

    The 150 BT can give some spectacular boom-flop results
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
