Easy enough, to repack into 20 round boxes or mtm case

Always keep ya old factory ammo boxes, they come in very handy when popping over to the SI republic ( well hopefully aye )

Yep goes good in most things but not my Bergara mountain.
It loves my Barnes handload so maybe I should try the Sako copper ammunition in it.

I used Sako factory ammo in my 7mrm 165g and it was insanely accurate, like 1 inch at 300yds for 3 shots but quite slow at 2730 from my 22 inch barrel

The fastest ammo isnt always the most accurate ammo.

My 308 shooting hornady 165gr ssts in been very accurate for the last 20yrs.Dare at $90 a box.But i sell the cases in 100 lots in factory nice red hornady boxs.Get around $80-$120 for 5 boxs of 100 cases.Keep the retail price down a bit.
But this winter i thort about changing ammo down to say $70 a box.Philipo,you might have put a bullet change my way.Il try 150-165gr,see how my 308 shoots sako ammo.

7mm08
Not insane but very acceptable.
That's a 1cm grid at 100m.

Bought a brand new Tikka wideland 7mm08
Tryed 4 different factory ammo brands and nothing would group- then tried this stuff and groups perfectly!!
Have only shot one animal so far with it other than good accuracy are others finding it a decent killing ammo out to longer ranges?

Hornady 165gr ssts out of my 308-22in barrel does 2760ft/s.Yr 7mm is slowish but it will kill.

These killed a couple of goats ok at 80m and made a good sized hole.
For longer range shooting i’d prefer the nosler ballistic tip as it would hold its shape better in the magazine.
But these are great, i can give them to mates with a 7mm 08 and they will perform and be safe no worries.
