Thread: Sako factory ammo one shot, two holes

Was at the range yesterday helping a mate sight in his new Tikka T3 in .308 (shooting 100m)

Had just got it on point shooting real well with Remington Core Lokt in 150Gr, Brought some other ammo along in case the core lokt didn't work out...
One of them being the Sako Gameheads 150gr which I warned said mate the day before not to bother with as I have heard bad things about Sako ammo especially recently.

Anyway couple shots in seems to be shooting okay not grouping as tight as the Remington but good enough, But then on about the 4th as I was spotting I had to stop and think for awhile as I was sure there should have only been 4 bullet holes in the target and not 5, With two both being about 2inches low of the initial 3 shot group.

Just sort of put this down to bad spotting as we had shot quite a few rounds at other targets already and decided I would have a couple more shots to double check this time with two spotters and a fresh target...
Sure enough second shot in we all watched as two new holes appear on target again, both 2inches low one 1inch to the left (pic of this below)

Still wondering if we are all seeing things I have no idea how this could happen but it definitely did, I am wondering if the tips of the lead core are somehow breaking off mid flight or as the round exits the barrel and both still managing to hit target??
has anyone else seen this sort of thing before?
