Thanks

You may want to PM or email Harry (AKA Mims Reed) at Hunter's Headquarters as he seems to know some of the Sako folks.

Sakos homepage has a link for contact, just remember to go buy PR and not a technical department. The guys in PR will usually contact you ASAP.

Worked for me.

A couple of years back, I got a reply from Sako refarding manufacturing date of a rifle on this mail address

**Export_.Info**@sako.fi

I have no idea whether the address is still current, or whether the mail-box is monitored...

guys thanks a lot

The SAKO ANSWER
Dear Sir,

The measures of your TRG 22 are within the specifications of C.I,P.There is no possibility ,that the head space would be something else.
The priciple of firearms and cartridge measures is: The Largest possible factory cartridge must fit into the chamber of the smallest rifle chamber.Therefore both the cartridge manufacturer and the rifle manufacturer must be able to follow
the given measures and the industrial tolerances.
Thus, when you chamber a new factory cartridge, it MUST BE A LITTLE LOOSE in the chamber.The tolerances are so small,
that a well manufactured rifle and a well made cartridge will produce a reasonably good accuracy.
However, when the cartridge is fired in the chamber, the pressure inside the case will cause the case to swell into
the actual dimensions of the chamber of YOUR RIFLE.
If you want to reload the case, and want to get still better accuracy, DO NOT USE A FULL LENGTH RESIZING TOOL!
Use a rezizing die that only resizes the neck of the case. This way, you have a Custom fitted tight cartridge that
shows no head space at all! Naturally, this may not fit into a chamber of another rifle. Do not mix these cases with
any other.
To get a really well made reload, you might get an advantage, if you purchase a set of Redding type S bushing match Neck Die Set , item number 38155(catagog tells the cost is USD 207,-- See their Website .http://www.redding-reloading.com
When you reload, the other things like: high quality cases, good resizing tools, trimmer, quality primers(I use RWS 5341)
and powder:Vihtavuori N 140 or 150, Good match bullets: Sierra 168 grs Matchking or Lapua 167grs Scenar.
A very important thing in reloading is to find the OAL(overall legth) of the realoaded cartridge, that the rifle "likes".
There are differences here, depending of the primer,powder,powder load and the bullet. For example there are 2 different
Lapua Scenars available: the normal GB422, HPBT, and the molycoated GB422 CHPBT. These require a different powder load
due to the lower barrel friction of the coated one.
Have also a look at: www.vihtavuori.fi and www.lapua.com

NEW QUESTION FROM SAKO

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your answer and your kindness for the
explanations you have sent to me.

It is true everything you say. However I get confused when the useful RCBS PRECISION MIC gives me ?3 below measurements. Never before an useful RCBS has provided me with so bad information. I can?t understand this point.

Could it be possible for you to provide me with the CIP measures of my chamber? I can?t find it on any website. It would be very useful to reconstruct and identify the real image of my chamber with its contour heights and measures (perhaps in an autocad file?)

Would it be posible to know the maximum size of the OAL, according to the manufacturing measures, to calculate the freebore? I know that it can be calculated with a wire put in through the gun or with a cartridge, and that the freebore changes depending on the
characteristics of the headspace.

Now again many thanks and should you need anything from me please
feel free to contact me.

Best regards
