Lads.
I have a Sako Finnbear Deluxe mid 70's vintage but I bought it unfired 12 years ago.
I tried lots of different combinations over the years to find that nice tiny cluster in a group. And long last it was suggested I give Reloder 25 a try. With 120gr Hornady bullets
Speer manual had a start of 56gr and a max of 58gr so that is what I went with for my first go with Re 25
my last group of 58gr was the best at long last 3 into 1/2 a thumbnail at 100 yards. This load on the magnetospeed was hi 3184FPS, Lo 3146 and Av 3162 SD 19 and ES 38. What a wonderful feeling it is when your Deluxe rifle serves up a Deluxe Group....FS

Congrats! Great bullet you picked, too. Wish I could find some.

Congrats
What sort of results did you get using IMR 4831?
How does the velocities compare?
I found good accuracy with IMR 4831 25 years ago with 100 Speers and 120 grain Sierras.

I never tried 4831, but I did try re19, re 22 7828, 4350, win 760. i triedAccubond 110, hornady 117, Partition, 117 Sierra.
Loaded a great lqad with 115 Barnes for my buddies 25 with re22. But no good in my Sako. FS
