An itsy little bit of effort from you or from your friend (who at the end of the day, if he is buying the rifle and may be interested in handloading for it) and there is stacks of stuff to be found in this forum... best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gun nut Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Gary get some Sierra 120grn Prohunters, lapua brass, remington 9.5 primers and 46grn of Vit N160. Load them to OAL of 3" and your mates Blaser will shoot groups as tight as he can hold them.The remington primers are important as N160 works far better with them than ordinary large rifle primers. If you cant get them magnum primers will do but you'll need to tweek the powder load probably. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Gary, My personnal load is 120g BT's over 48.5g N160, Lapua brass and Russian primers (marketed as PMC over here). Shoots well in my rifle (Sako 75 rebarrelled with a Shilen). Around 2850 fps with no apparent stress. Have tried other powders but came back to the Vit N160.
