Looks like N120 will do the job , thanks for your help

You might find N120 a bit too fast, I use it with 52gn SMK in my 222 but friends using it in 223 with the same bullet have suffered blown primers etc. & serious pressure signs - one had the bolt shroud blow off the back of his T3 when a primer let go! They've found that N133 or N130 is optimal in 223. But, as always the case, you need to develop your own load carefully working up from published data.

Says on the box of my T3X .308: "This rifle has been tested with Sako Centrefire Cartridges to guarantee 1 MOA or better accuracy".
I've been out this morning with my homeloads(125grn TMKs) and shot a 1/2" 3-shot group at 180 yards.

I zero my stalking/ fox rifles at 165 yards for some reason i can’t remember.

Dead on at 165 yards would be just about right, depending on calibre/bullet weight, for most stalking ranges, I would think.
You will probably also be somewhere near dead on at about 50-70 yards.

There won’t be many stalkers that can shoot MOA at 100 yards and can the repeat it at 1k yards.

Probably because 165yards is as near as damn-it to 150metres ?

Think it has something to do with my MPBR.

My rifles all shoot well the Mauser will do thumb nail groups if I do my part. I've always sighted my stalking rifles at 100mtrs. The double rifle at 50mtrs. More important than the group they shoot,the bullet speed or any of the other technical bollocks people like to spout I make sure I'm a competent shot to get the best potential from the rifles.

133 and 140 purchased, now the testing begins. Thank you

If someone has their rifle zeroed at a distance other than 100 meters/yards it makes dialling for corrections a touch more complicated.

At 100m the effect of external conditions will be minimized vs. a 200m/yrds zero, and for those who are going by 'X amount high at Y' then your rifle really isn't zeroed unless you carry a tape measure or reference card around with it.

A 'true' 1 MOA is excellent accuracy for stalking, works out as an approximate 4 inch circle at 300 meters.

Some may claim better accuracy with heavier and less portable rifles shot off a bench/bipod. See how that works out for you freehand?
