Very nice indeed - as a Sauer 200 shooter myself, albeit a very different one, that's a very nice rifle and I'll bet it shoots well.

This is my latest toy. It a tikka T3 action with a 1-7 twist Tru flite barrel finished at 26 inches threaded and spiggoted with an ASE UTRA MOD in .223 Ackley Improved.

 

Designed purposely to shoot the 80 Bergers and 80 grain AMax bullets for long range targets and vermin.

in the early stages of load development ATM but shooting in the .2's and .3's :-).

 

Very very happy and super accurate.

Yes, I'm verry happy with the Sauer :)

 

It gave me first place in National Championship UNL 500 meter prone class this year

and the smallest group no matter class.

 

10 shot at 75 mm

I like this a lot...

 

My aim is for distance & I have a .223

 

Currently only a 1in9 twist, but I hope to rectify that at some point.

 

How do you rate the AI over the regular .223?

Hi Jay,

 

The .223 AI over the standard .223.....

 

You do get more ftps out of them, they run higher chamber pressures but with next to no case stretching at all. Apparently they are also easier on the throats as well?

 

With a slow twist barrel like a 1/12, you can get the 40 grain bullets north of 3900ftps, 55 grainers around 3700ftps which is ideal for a fast flat shooting vermin rifle.

If you go with a fast twist like mine,1/7 I wanted to shoot the High BC 80 grain AMax's. (0.48 at 3000 ftps and an average of 0.455) I'm push them out at 2960ftps, I can get them higher but 2960 is where the .2' groups are. And with high BC bullets, chasing speed is not needed.

 

I was smashing 6 inch gongs today in the wind at 560 yards for fun.

 

Pm me the details on your load see if we can help each other out chum and so we don't hi- jack this trend.

 

Steve.
