Found the Hornady 50 gr SX and the 50 gr Sierra Blitz (not to be confused with recent tipped Blitz Kings) over 26.5 gr H335 shot superbly. If your Colt/Sako is, indeed, a 14" twist then a well cast 225415 over a bit slower burning powder can be driven very accurately upwards of 2500+ fps. However, no arguing with your success....well done.
    This was a bit over 3000 FPS with varget. I may have some H 335 and try that load as well.

    Success! You were right Larry. Hornady 50 SX at 50 yards. It was not even the best rest and a windy day. So happy this sweet rifle will shoot with the right bullet combo.
