    Yep Id like to get a recoil pad fitted, more so as that bloody plastic one sure slides around on the shoulder! Has anyone had a play round with casting their own projectiles for these.. or other calibers?

    Nah, If you are guiding you want controlled round feed for anything that can bite you, horn you or trample you!

    I was just being polite, they are. I have a sako 85 Bavarian (you would never guess from my name) and it is along with all Sako 85's

    Get in contact with Trade Me - Listings from robertw1 He casts his own etc.

    I have a 6 cavity mold with one HP 286 grain that I have not used as of yet with 2000 GC's. Had to sort the rifle stock out first before I even thought of reloading for it.

    They say they are, while they are more controlled than a run of the mill push-feed, they are not a true mauser type controlled feed like CZ, Mauser, Winchester, Kimber, Ruger M77 etc.

    Sort of, they are more controlled than a push feed but not a true mauser type non-rotating extractor like the Mauser, Winchester, CZ, Kimber etc. which is what you are after for dangerous game, not putting the Sako down, they are awesome rifles, you just don't see many guides that hunt DG using them because of that reason.

    Actually a debate my brother and I have had is that we hope to do hunts on buffalo up north in the next few years and are tossing up between a 9.3x62 and 375H&H, would also be good for thick country sambar hunting. What are your thoughts @Spudattack ?

    Both would be fine I have both and would have to toss a coin. 9.3 lighter if a long carry is on the cards but that old Water Buffalo wont know if it is a 9.3x62 or a 375 H&H when you smack him in the chest. Hell I shot over 60 with 44 mag and factory 240 gr a few with a 45-70 and factory lead and some with a 12 ga with steel and lead solids.Also 2 with a bow, mostly on my own with no backup except for the bow hunting where my then to be wife carried the 44 mag just in case,Name:  P1000721 (1000 x 750).jpg
