Has anyone slugged the 32 barrel on a Sako Triace?

Post by trboat »

Hello all,

I am setting up to reload and I am interested in which bullet diameter to purchase.
Has anyone slugged the 32 barrel for the Triace or is it assumed that each barrel must be slugged to determine bore diameter?

Thank you

Slug your own barrel.
Take a lightly lubed soft lead slug and tap it thru the barrel, then measure it.
If possible use a soft fresh cast wadcutter, lightly squeeze it end to end to buldge
it to about .316", then drive it down the barrel with a wood dowel or brass rod.
Measure with a micrometer. The correct size HBWC will be .001-.002" over barrel
groove diameter.
Then check your necksizer die to bullet diameter.
Brass spring back will ensure the neck tension.

I always wondered if the triggers on a Triace were quickly adjustable for CF, SP and RF or were you using 1360g for everything?

My apologies for the delay- each barrel conversion is set for pull weight independently and they maintain that setting when changed.
