What is the highest grain 308 bullet?

Assuming you mean the cartridge conventionally known as ‘. 308 Winchester’, ballistics and personal experience seems to agree that anything north of 180 grains is pushing your luck. And considering that one of the most accurate loads involve either the 168 or 178 grain MGHPBT, that seems to be a fair assessment.

Sako .308″ Win. 123 Grain cartridges ? I used to have an old .270 with T8 Reflex, and used Federal Powershok 130’s which I used for foxes and deer. I have now bought myself a new Tikka T3 Lite stainless / synthetic, in .308 win. calibre, along with a new T8 Reflex.

What kind of round is Sako 123 grain?

I have bought a box of Federal Powershok 150’s to try although have also bought ( on the advice of Gregor McLeod of R. Mcleod’s of Tain – where I bought the rifle ) some Sako Gamehead 123 grain. He seems to sell a lot of them, although mainly in .270, and he tells me that they are a very flat shooting round.

What kind of barrel does the Sako A7 have?

The A7 sports the same cold hammer forged, free-floating barrel as all of Sako’s other rifles. Understandable, as this has proved itself over decades of use. Unsurprisingly, the rifle shot very well. I would have been shocked if it hadn’t, since it combines aspects of two rifles that are well known for producing the goods straight out the box.

What kind of ammo does a Sako Forester use?
