Sako finnlight magazine lenth?
« on: January 01, 2007, 06:58:34 AM »
I reload, and would like to know if you can seat the bullet to the lands in a Sako finnlight magazine and it still chamber properly?
I am planning on buying the new Sako 85 finnlight in 7mm Rem Mag.
Thank you
Elmer

I have a Finnlight in 270.  It will shoot 5 shots in one hole!!!  My best gun hands down.  The one thing about it is just what you are asking about.  From what I can gather from my reloading is the lands are set for larger bullet weights which makes for a long round.  I can just get the rounds in the mag but it is tight.  I am able to get the bullet off the lands a few thousands.  You are going to love that gun.  I am saving for the Graywolf in 75 if I can find it.  I just don't know if I like the control round rifles.
