Off the top pf my head I think I use 42.5gr of R-15 in my M1A using max length my mags could handle.

I use 45 gr. of Reloader 15 with 175 SMK. Finished round is 3.225 from base of case to ogive. This load is for TRG-22.

Do you not use the mag on the Sako? Or was it a typo and you meant 2.225 which sounds about right.

I do use the Sako mag. 3.225 is the correct measurement. It is longer because a Sinclair Comparator is used. The comparator is used to get an accurate and consistant base of case to bullet ogive measurement. A round with base to bullet ogive measurement of 3.225 puts the bullet ogive .040" from the lands.

Hope this explains.

42gr works great for me...
