I traded for an L61 Mannlicher 7mm Mag back in December and was finally able to shoot it last evening. I mounted a Leupold VX III 3.5-10x 50mm scope on it so I decided to sight it in and see how she would shoot. I have found that my SAKOs like plain old Federal Powerpoint ammunition so was using a 150 gr bullet. After shooting about 6 rounds to get the point of impact adjusted to where I wanted, I started shooting 3 shot strings. This is an amazingly accurate rifle. At 100 yards, this rifle shoots consistent 1/2 inch groups. I will be visitng my son this weekend and he has loaded some 130 grain moly coated Winchester Silver Tips for me to try out. The ammunition thing is kind of weird. I have tried factory Remingtons in my SAKO AII and AIII .270 and .243 Mannlichers and they have not shot consistently. Switched to Federals and life is good. Anyone out there have any good loads for these calibers?
