Has anyone shot or know anything about the Lazzeroni offering in the Sako or Savage in these rounds? The artical in Riflrshooter this month has me strongly leaning towards one.

I own the Sako TRGS in Warbird. I have only killed two animals with it and both were last year, a moose in B.C. and a nice whitetail here in Wa. I shoot 180 gr noslers out of mine and it is very accurate. Honest 1 inch groups at 100 yds. It could probably be better than that but I don't have the eyes I used to have. I love shooting it but be forwarned, it snorts pretty good when you trip it off!!

Tell me about your loads, pleasse ?
Do you get over 3500 fps with 180 noslers ?

Take this with a grain of salt, but I'd think that the factory rifles wouldn't be sufficiently accurate to take adavantage of what this round offers.

Just got a few flyers from John Lazzeroni today and one of them shows a September Sales Promotion for the Savage 16LZ in the 7.82 Patriot (the short .30)....price is $499.99 until the end of September....this is, I believe, a savings of $300 over the regular price.

As to accuracy limitations, everything I've read plus several conversations with John indicate these inexpensive Savage rifles are amazingly accurate.

Yes. Just over 3500 fps with 102.5 grs of RL25 and Fed 215 primers.

Hoghead...what would you compare the recoil of the Warbird to?

A little stiffer than my .300 WBY. Not overly bad though.
