    Mucked about a fair bit with my tikka 7mm08 (same barrel as your sako)

    The 150 ELD-X shot okay with RL17 (none- temp stabilized version of RL16 I believe) but brilliantly with 2208, velocity was slow though. In my rifle they needed to be seated out longer than SAMMI spec for accuracy however (COAL of 73mm from memory)

    Currently running the 162 ELD-M at similar velocity and brilliant accuracy at COAL of 75mm.

    Not sure how much mag length you have but maybe your limiting factor with a SA Sako?

    Cheers I don’t think the sakos mag will limit it as they are much longer then a tikka mag.
