Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 7 rem mag with 168 long range Accubond

Has anybody had luck with the 168's in a 7 rem mag sako 85 ? I have tried numerous powders and seating depth and Nothing seems to be working out. The best group so far is 1.5" at 200 yrd. Might just have to move on to a different bullet. If anybody has had these work in a sako 85 could you please share some info. Thanks

That's .75 MOA.

How good do expect it to shoot?

Mine shot 168's best with RL-25.

Check out the Berger jump protocol on line.

Might be the best your gun will do with that bullet ! .75 MOA should be plenty good !

I have shot them in my 85 Classic with H1000. VLDs were more accurate for me in that gun and my 700 Sendero. Also had better accuracy with 150 BTs in the Sako. 1.5" at 200 is pretty good though. I doubt you'll improve on that much.

Problem solved. I went loaded up some 160Ab Today and Tried them and now it shoots them @3105 avg and 0.9" at 200yards . I guess the gun just prefers good old accubonds.

Those 160 A/B will work just fine.

Yep.
