The Sako TRG Precision 140A is a .308 Win competition cartridge featuring an 11.3-gram (175-grain) boat-tail OTM precision bullet. With a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s and a ballistic coefficient of 0.467, it supports stable flight and reduces wind drift at longer distances. Suitable for use in Competition shooting Long-range precision shooting Practicing ballistic corrections PRS and prone position training Precision rifles chambered in .308 Win Shooters who prefer a 175 gr OTM bullet Why choose TRG Precision 140A? 11.3 g / 175 gr OTM bullet Boat-tail design Muzzle velocity 800 m/s Ballistic coefficient 0.467 Good velocity retention Less wind drift than lighter training bullets Components selected for competition 20 cartridges per box Technical specifications Manufacturer: Sako Series: TRG Precision Caliber: .308 Winchester Bullet code: 140A Bullet weight: 11.3 g / 175 gr Bullet type: OTM / HPBT Muzzle velocity: 800 m/s Ballistic coefficient: 0.467 Package contains: 20 cartridges Country of manufacture: Finland Included in the package 20 × Sako TRG Precision 140A .308 Win cartridges Frequently Asked Questions Does 140A mean a 140-grain bullet? No. 140A is the bullet code. The actual bullet weight is 175 gr or 11.3 g. Is this a hunting cartridge? No, its main use is for competition and precision shooting. How does the 140A model differ from the 157A? Both weigh 175 gr and have a muzzle velocity of 800 m/s, but the bullet code and published ballistic coefficient differ. The 140A BC is 0.467, while the 157A BC is 0.472. When is the 140A the right choice? The 140A is suitable if your rifle shoots accurately with a 175 gr OTM bullet and you need better wind resistance than lighter training ammo. The 168 gr 141A may be better for reduced recoil or shorter distances. Recommendation Compare the 140A and 157A variants on the same shooting day under equal conditions. A small numerical difference in ballistic coefficient does not mean the 157A will be more accurate in every rifle. The decision should be based on group sizes, actual muzzle velocity variation, and rifle reliability. When compiling a data card for longer distances, use velocity measured with a chronograph and confirm calculated corrections with live fire. Always check the point of impact with a new batch before competition. 175 gr OTM precision cartridge for long distances The Sako TRG Precision 140A offers a 175 gr OTM bullet, 800 m/s muzzle velocity, and a ballistic coefficient of 0.467.
