Sako 90 6.5 creed

[Dan🦊]

Hi all

In the process of buying a new Sako 90 adventure, 6.5 creed.
I think it’s 1-8 twist
I’ll be using factory ammo to start with.
Wanting to know where to start (brand, grn size ect). I know every rifle likes certain ammunition but just wondered if anyone on here had the same gun and had found an ammo that works well.
Thanks

I’ve not got one. But I’d start with any sako ammunition.

Copper or lead?

Hornady superformance 129g SST or Precision Hunter 143g ELD-X, I have Sako S20 in 6.5CM and these kill and group excellent.

My S20 6.5 CM shoots S&B Blue ( copper ) well if I do my bit, had 1/3 MOA with them and cloverleafs with Federal Power Shock ( lead ) certainly putting the Deer on the ground .

140g Eldm is a winner for me
