[QUOTE="7stw, post: 607672, member: 22854"] This message is in response to Dano 1 as well. The specifics are 79.0 - N170-215 fed, A - Square brass. COAL, was at 3.700 exactly. The Sako has a spacious drop box, and this thing is free bored big time. The A Square brass is pretty nice stuff. Firm pockets, weighs about the same as Winchester brass. I basically used Retumbo loading data, as the burn rate is identical. ( got that from multiple sources) I even think it is a little slower myself. I am going to try it a few more times, and later crony it . If I get consistent accuracy , I will stick with it. BUT, I have a cash of 160 Failsafes , and if I can get them to shoot, game over. Those FS are awesome. Nothing has EVER walked away from me when one of those went at it! I actually wanted to shoot 140's, but the gun just is not consistent with them. My other ones are, but not this one. Those 168 VLD's are simply amazing. Everything I have shot them in either shot them right away, or just needed a little Tweaking, to get them to shoot right. Take care guys, and be safe. Let me know how you make out. I will follow up with chronograph info when the opportunity arises. AIM SMALL, MISS SMALL, lightbulbgun) 7STW [/QUOTE]
