    My current Sako 75 1 in 8" twist 22 inch barrel likes real light loads
    24.8gn 2206H at 2893fps with the can on, slightly slower unsuppressed.

    Previous M-Bolt 1 in 12" twist, 22 inch barrel
    25.2gn 2206H at 3103fps unsuppressed, slower with the can on.

    Both times I didn't bother with the speed, but went for accuracy.

    I prefer Blitzkings, not quite as explosive, so better on the goats.
