Sako .123gr load data

I got it by googling" ballistic data sako"
But.......the results i get on the range arent the same as on the readout!
Good accurate round though in my opinion.

that sounds great I have mine a 1" high at 100m and the range here on the isle of wight is 100m max. so I will set up some targets on my stalking ground next time I have a chance! are you using sako 124gr.. my tikka T3 is also cut to 19"

Just re read your thread again.. so the bullet is still rising at 400yrds! what did you zero at?

what size target / diamond is it?

100yds...grouped 3 shots nicely just below the middle of the diamond
200yds.....grouped 3 shouts just above the middle of the diamond
300yds.... fired 2 shots both .5" above the line and in the diamond
400yds....fired 2 shots,1 bang on the point of diamond and 1 just outside.

this sound like very flat shooting...

The load data for sako 123 grain gamehead is 47.8gn n140 achieving 925 m/s (3034 fps)
Trajectory is in cm.
50 =0.4
100=2.0
150=0
200=-6
250=-16.9
300=-32.7

My own 125gn ballistic tips shoot faster and flatter and will be 1.2” high at 100, 1” low at 200, 7” low at 300, 24” low at 400 when zeroed at 185 yards.
 
went to bisley on the 300 yrd range with computer system.

150gr H/L
bull @ 100m
-461mm @ 300yrds

Sako 123gr (gamehead)
+ 15mm @ 100m
- 84mm @ 300yrds


I been to do some more testing with the Sako as the first 2 shots on the 150gr went so low on the target I got a call on the bisley radio and was to adjust my m.o.a.. so I had to click up 5 clicks then 10 clicks.. so I have had to fire the sako on my own 50m range with it 10 clicks up then do the maths. it all looks right but be nice to go back to a 300yrd with the rifle 1" high at 100m and see were I am at 200 and 300

forgot to say how great the sako 123gr groups were.. here is the bisley print out. this is with my scope up 10 clicks (1cm per click @100m)

No. X. Y.
1. 13 -52
2. 23 -48
3. 0 -41
 
my 125 ballistic tip loads, as you asked so nicely

48.5 gn n140 gives 2900 fps
49gn h4895 gives 3050 fps

gun is a Blaser R93 .308, barrell is about 23 1/2 " , groups are typically Blaseresque!

with 49gn h4895 i get 3121 fps from 110 gn soft points - looking forward to trying them on live quarry :p

remember, these loads are for my gun only, start lower, work up etc.. etc..
