Sako .223 55 grain soft point Game head?
How does this ammo perform from anyones experience, out of a CZ 527 .223?
Does it group well at a 100 yds, and is it good for coyotes out to 250yds?
Thanks.

My CZ ZKK601 223 does about 1 MOA with factory Remington ammo.

Hi Mik,
I exclusively use 55 grain sako game heads in my RWS 222 rem (not much difference in performance between 222 and 223) for both foxes and Roe deer,and its moa at 100 yards easily,great ammo and quite cheap too (£11.20 UK pounds for 20)
switched over from federal and haven't gone back.
I wouldn't hesitate to take a fox at 250 yards if I had a good rest or bipods down.

Mik,
it is dead on at 125 yards I just adjust from there as reqd,and I found the SAKO data tables for trajectory accurate for my rifle.
I would give SAKO ammo the thumbs up. thumb
