Thanks for the info on what bullets your Sakos like. I suspect that 90 and 95-gr is going to be the sweet spot for deer, maybe a flat base 100-gr Speer or Hornady tops.
Yes, I know about the heavier bullets in 6mm. A lot of the .243s have a 1:10 twist.
I had a Browning B78 in 6mm Remington (6x57mm) with a 24-inch heavy barrel that would shoot 100 and 105 gr into bug hole groups. It had a 9.25:1 twist, more powder and longer barrel to spin them up. I bought it to rebarrel, but could not with such accuracy, so I sold it to a friend.
My Finnbear .375 H&H likes every load, but most .375s are not fussy, and are accurate, in my experience.
This Forester is from the original owner, in mint condition, just as my previous Forester was, but this is the Deluxe. I would probably remove the original scope and mounts and use the factory peep sight. It is just lovely, but I don't want to be fiddling with trying to find a good load, and I already have an even nicer Sako .308 with which I only use with iron sights, so I don't need the .243, but it would be nice to have an L579 and another L61R. I found a nice 7mm Rem Mag L61R from the original owner, with Deluxe wood in oil finish, very reasonable price.. tempting.
