Sako Forester launches 55 grain Sierra SBT to say it is a tack driver is an understatement and super fur friendly as long as not under 75 yards if 75 or less some sewing will be needed, at 200 plus seldom an exit hole.

Of course, mine doesn’t get out much no real call in the woods where I usually hunt where most shots are less then a hundred yards or way less
Mines a savage 110 has a medium weight barrel on it and with the right load will do one hole groups all day long, it’s also pre acurtrigger but have never felt the need to upgrade it’s always been a good light crisp trigger

I am pretty new to shoot it. But I have had nothing but good luck out of it. After some advice here on a night time calling gun, I went with it. I have been impressed with the killing power of it. It’s way more impressive than the .223 on coyotes. Have never really shot groups with mine. I use a hot 3” steel plate to sight in, shots are center on it. Seems to be one that shoots most anything well.

Last few gun shows, and on line, not much new brass out there. Plus haven't seen 22 250 ammo either. I bought 300 pcs., Lapua brass couple years back and new Remington. Have used annealing machine,making my brass last alot longer. Danny Clifton, mine shoots 3380, and I have over shot several yotes aiming at there back also , If I'm shooting under 100 yrs., I aim for belly, they sometimes run short distance. Flat shooting round. Putting a 22 ARC together with 77 gr TMK, then will find out how it shots up against 22 250

swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I have that same gun. Bought it probably 35 years ago. VERY accurate and when looking at the inside of the barrel with a bore scope it looks like a pitted railroad track. Killed a lot of deer with it. Always did head or neck shots with 52 grain hollow points but a few years ago I tried 60 grain nosler partitions and shot behind the shoulder. Always passed Thru and never ran too far. Then I started shooting siera 63 grain smp and they are super accurate and did even better on the deer. Disclaimer- all the deer I shoot with it are does and not past 300 yards.
