[QUOTE="etisll40, post: 652188, member: 15229"] You could go with a 7STW and get the same numbers as the Gunwerks cartridge and it has a history, brass cheaper and plenty of over the counter ammo. That's hands down what I'd do. Talk with a gunsmith about whether shooting the 180 bergers is the ticket or the 191-02 grain ones coming out. They are supposed to have a really high bc. However, I've heard they need a faster twist rate. Much depends on what range you are going to harvest at. But the 7stw does have plenty of loaded ammunition out there to buy and a whole culture of followers and hunting experience available here and other places. Obviously, I like the caliber, sorry to ramble. The 7stw can shoot many bullet types, so Bergers aren't the only game out there. Ask a gunsnith though. Mag length on your Sako? Is it 3.8? I guess that's a big question. [/QUOTE]
