Hi Gents,
a friend of mine has just bought a SAKO 75 in .300 WSM for hunting Red Stag (European deer) and Chamois (European Mountain goat) and I would like to help him out in finding a good load.
Powder choices : As far as availability, I would prefer a Vihtavuori Powder and, according to their manual, the 165 seems to be the way to go....
Do you have a good powder charge to suggest ?
Bullet choices : I've read some notes where the use of the 180 grs. is advised, or "at least" the 165.
Which one would you suggest, considering the main shots are going to take place from 200 to 400 yds. ?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
:wink:
P.S.: I have shot the gun @ 100 yds. using Winchester XP 180 Power point factory ammo's, and the results seemed to be quite good.
