[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 2042, member: 8947"] Welcome to the site. Have read several articles about the hunting/shooting down under. Sounds like a great trip. Presently, I shoot a 300Wby and have found that because of the freebore, I have had the best success with 150 to 168gr bullets seated as far out as possible. With your Sako, the throat may be different. Unless, your varmint shooting is up close, I would still consider a 155gr or 168gr bullet as they usually work so much better and will make a big impression way out there. Your varmints are a whole lot bigger then ours, so I would lean towards a heavier bullet. My favorites are the Hornady Amax. Wonderfully accurate, and soft enough to splatter at long range. The nosler BT are also excellent but a tougher bullet and more expensive in Canada. Either way, you have mucho gun to do the job. Have fun burning out the barrel and countryside. Jerry [/QUOTE]
