[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 30544, member: 3"] NS I did a quick search and didn't find anything relating to Sako and polygonal rifling... I believe the problem with polygonal rifling is not the style (polygonal) but the practice of making the bore a "little tight" so the polygonal system "works" as designed. There are other tight bore barrels around, Palma types I believe are tight .3078 and smaller vice the nominal .308. The bore on the rifles I tried apparently was quite tight too, regardless of rifling type, and this is where I feel the problem begins. Might try asking some of the Palma type about monometal bullets and observed results. I'd didn't go much further with the quest but if you come across anything please post it.
