Sako Hammerhead 140gr or Federal Fusion 140gr for deer stalking with a Tikka T3x... Accuracy etc. Your thoughts and experience!

As per the title.... Thanks

A caliber or 2 might help get things started.

Not specific to this calibre but I’ve always found Sako ammunition more accurate than Federal.

I used federal fusion in my 7mm 08 and found them accurate enough, but.....they had a tendency to fragment inside the animal and got penalised by the game dealer for carcase damage. No such problems with Winchester, ppu or indeed federal 150 gr soft points, so I stopped using them.

Fusion bullets, as above, tend to fragment and lose the core, Sako 120 gr copper loads are much better in my Swede.
