I have a new toy and was wondering if anyone else has one if these and could share any load data and what should be expected accuracy? Thanks

I think that you can expect amazing accuracy with this rifle. As far as load data, you are going to have to work up your own to see what the rifle likes. Even someones favourite load with the same rifle might not work in yours, or might even be dangerous. Under the reloading section people have put their favourite loads.

What weight of bullets were you wanting to load?

Oh and you can't tell everyone that you have a Sako 75 and not post a picture of it lol.

Well, I can't guarantee my load will work in your Sako M75 Varmint, but mine thrives on a max load of RL-10X under a 39gr SBK seated .090" off the lands, ignited by a Rem 7-1/2 cap in both Nosler and WW detailed cases. Velocity runs about 3,960 fps and accuracy is in the .2's under ideal conditions, usually in the .3's. (My loads will not function through the magazine, and are shot single-shot only.)

Here's mine cooling her barrel during a particulary great day shooting ground squirrels on a friends property.....fun at the beach:

A bit more Sako porn doing what she does best:

My M75 Varmint also shoots the 32gr SBK quite well using the same powder with velocity running just over 4,000 fps and literally vaporizes ground squirrels out to 350 yards, and gives a "Launch Factor" of about 10.0 in the aerial display catagory at further ranges.......excellent visual rewards for good hits. :wink:

You're new here, so we won't bust your chops too much........but (and don't take it personally, everyone gets this treatment) you forgot one critical thing:

Welcome aboard, and let's see that Sako! :D
