Thread: Sako 75 saum

Depends if you need the extra horsepower

A 140g nosler ballistic tip from a sako 75 in 7mm08 loaded at around 2.890 to 2.923 due to its long throat and long magazine internals opens up some room in the case for more powder.

You end up with a velocity between 2920-2950 fps

Running the numbers you end up with approx 1000ftlbs of energy and 1700fps around 630yrds.

Apply the same tricks to a 150g nosler ballistic tip and you have a bit more "harvesting" capability
