Im sure if you can have the barrell lenght and can get the sppeds up you can make it work but is a bigger rifle an option ? Ive found Sika take a bullet better than any other species, certainly like to error on the side of bigger is better

They're great - one of the original turned copper bullets and still up there with the best. I have a few hundred which should last me years.

A friend and rifle builder used them for 10 years I think

Same as you, said they were tremendous.

I emailed Johan and he said he couldn’t get them made to spec anymore in the uk

That's a shame. I would love to have a CNC lathe to make this kind of stuff.

I didn't say they were legal, but I'm reliably informed that they work very well.

Ha!
Indeed.
Also reliably informed that lots of other things work....

Using 70g sierra blitzing at moment. Not sure what the barrel length is on a standard sako75 6ppc

26" that even when fitted with a short(ish) Wildcat over-barrel moderator makes it too much of drey poking tool for my liking. Ask me how I know!

Not sure of legal weights in uk
70gr Blitzkings in Sako .243 ammunition is working extremely well for me on Sika
The only change I make at times is to the 90gr Gamehead pros on rutting stags
I will say,placement is everything
High neck to atlas joint drop in their shadow or well forward into the heart area
Yes they run a little bit but they’re not bulletproof
