You've got 2 friends who have blown up Sakos ? Have had 3 Sakos myself over a period of 27 years including potential bombs like the .220 Swift and .17 Remington . Miraculously I am still alive , have all my limbs and both eyes .

My 4-16 x 40 Elite 4200 has 1/4 MOA adjustments and my guess is that yours has too . Would explain your problem .

Am about to take delivery of my second .243 AI . Will be a 27 inch , 3 groove , 9 inch twist Lilja on a Stiller Predator action . I couldn't get anywhere near 3500 FPS with 87gn V Max in my last rifle . 3350 was more like it with H4350 , H4831SC or...

I am not a big fan of the .22/250 but barrels aren't toast in 1000 rounds unless abused .

66.5gns H4831SC behind the 140gn Accubond or ballistic tip . Work up from below .

So is there any science in the theory that short and fat provides better accuracy or is that BS too ? Is it just the small rifle primer ? Guess the .222 wasn't short and fat and that was the king of benchrest for a long time.

87gn V Max and 90gn Berger boattail .

3500 should be quite achievable with the 75gn V Max in .243 AI . I can get close to 3700 in a 26 inch barrel . Suggest you try Varget . Might want to look at Reloder 19 or H4350 for 80gns or heavier .

Meopta = high quality European scope that is only just being discovered in the U.S. but has been around in Australia for 10 years or more . Have won a reputation for high quality at a reasonable price . One of the most experienced local gunwriters wrote...

After reading Kirby's disturbing report above I checked the Stiller squareness issue out with the smith that is building my .243AI . Below is the result of his testing . Quote : "I currently have 3 Stiller actions of various models in stock, 2 different Bat actions and...

I only have 2 rifles with improved chambers but have never had any problem with dents . Shoulders were rounded on my first conservative loads with my .243 Ackley but sharpened up as powder charge increased . Kirby might be referring to higher capacity...

Berger 95 VLD doesn't like over 3150FPS from an accuracy standpoint .

[ QUOTE ] How much horizontal spread are you talking about? [/ QUOTE ] About 1.2 inches horizontal . Under half inch vertical . Tried seating depths and various powders . Trying primer change next . Starting to wonder about the scope as it is new and an unknown...
