[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 62920, member: 1622"] Shawn, Can’t vouch for this data personally, but (because I have a couple of old boxes of Sako 185 subsonic) I made a note of this from an article I once read: Sako Subsonic factory load: 185gr bullet, 9.0gr Viht N320, RWS magnum primer. (requires 18” barrel and 1:10 twist). In expansion tests trying to replicate this load for a conventional 308 barrel, none of the following expanded at 100yds: Nosler BT, A- Max, Speer (type unknown) Sierra (ditto) Lapua (ditto) or Barnes X (!!) …accuracy was also poor. Winning load for a 24” 1:12 barrel?…… Lapua 200gr B416 loaded backwards (yes, backwards!) with a COL of 2.433” over N320, CCI 250 mag primer –final charge weight not specified- sub MOA and hard hitting due to flat-point (ie the base!). Hope that may be of some help! [/QUOTE]
