mildot Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 HI Guys What would you guys think would be the optimal bullet weight to use in a Sako 1-10" .243AI? Also any good starting loads and powder? Info very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest northernchris Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I load for a few of .243 Ack Imp sticks, two of them i use in 45.8 gr of N160 (warm load running 3333fps out of a 24" tube) under a 90gr nosler Ballistic tip would run well out of your 1-10".We did try 95gr Nosler BT but they wouldnt shoot worth a that which promotes growth and vigour even driving them real hard.

varminter Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 243 ackley with 1 in 10 twist!!! Try the 87 V-max - has a BC of 0.400 and should be a awesome longrange varmint round!!!!! I had a 243 ackley with a 1 in 9 twist and it shot these well.............. All the best...................................... RAY..........................................
