Sako Blade 120g

[Dorset Deer]

Does anyone use use the factory loaded Sako Blade 120g 6.5x55 that can help me with a couple of measurements please?
Can I get the overall length and the case length please.
I don't have any factory ones to measure it against, and don't want to buy a box just to measure.
Thanks in advance

If you’re planning on reloading using them it might be worth investing in a box not just to measure but also to record velocity so you can try to replicate it when you develop your load.

Hi
Sako Blade in 6.5 x55 factory load 120g
I make it 54.7mm case length using a digital calliper.
Total overall length 77mm to 77.3mm base to bullet tip from 5 measured.

Hope that helps.

Nice and accurate in my Sako 75

From what I believe the Barnes 120 in TTSX is what they use, it's what I use in my 6.5x55

I can understand you not buying a box at £65+

Good luck finding a box to buy, I’ve heard it may not be until next year and I ran out of them at the end of the last season

That's what they used to use (Powerhead II) The blade is a bullet they developed themselves. There is also a blade pro version out now which is supposed to expand even easier.
