Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone who has a Sako 85 Carbonlight 308, could advise what ammo suited their rifle best for accuracy (100-200 yards stalking).

Many Thanks

No doubt you will shortly get the standard answer that every rifle is different even if the same make and model, and that you have to try various ammo until you find out what works for you.
I wouldn't concentrate just on accuracy, you need to consider effectiveness too. What species will you be shooting and do you want to stick to lead cored bullets or are you going down the lead free route?
 
Thanks for taking time out to reply all, will look into getting hold of the suggested ammo.

I bought 150g Sako Super Hammerheads and 165g Hornady Superformance to try initially, will see what results I get from them when I zero.

Thanks again.
 
Try Federal power shock 150gr as an alternative to the Sako. Test out on a range and let us know how you get on.
