Factory SAKO 75 sporter 7mmSTW hasn't been grouping very well.
I've tried a variety of bullets
Berger 180's 168's Barnes LRX 145's and variety powders
H1000, Retumbo, IMR 7828SSC
I'd prefer to use this rifle as a repeater for hunting but the magazine is too short the accomodate any of the bullets to be seated 50 thou or less for possibly better accuracy.
Right now they're being seated 300 thou or more from the rifling.
What would you do...
shoot it as a single shot?
replace the barrel with a shorter throat ?
