Default Sako Ammo

Sako sells ammo......
And it's on the shelf in Alberta too.

Interesting weights too.
156gr. 270win.....

Thought I might grab a box, and see how they run.

Anybody tried any of the offerings?

Seen Sako ammo at Bass Prk at Crossiron when I was in Calgary area over Easter. Would of liked to find some in the 300WM and maybe 243 in the bullet of choice.

At $78 dollars a box for 7mm, it's a little rich for my blood.

$78 isn't much more expensive than other premium factory ammo for 7 mag, i think barnes vortex, federal premium and nosler custom are all $65-75.

Saw it being unpacked at a Calgary CT yesterday, though it wasn't yet entered as inventory so it wasn't for sale. They had some .300 WM, .30-06 and Perhaps more. The counter man was noting it was Norma brass and Vihtahouri powder to another shopper, but he admitted that he didn't know who made the projectiles. Not sure how accurate that may or may not be as I haven't yet determined if that particular counter guy is one of the good ones or one of the flaky ones. Its sad when you see so much misinformation from the other side of the counter that you have to double & triple check pretty much everything....
