    The Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor Reloading Thread

    Lots of good info already.. Here is my hunting load for my Tikka T3x lite. 41.3g IMR 4350 / 143g EldX / Hornady brass / CCI 200 primers / 2.85” COAL / very light taper crimp. 0.5 moa (or better) from bipod.

    Scopes and muzzleoader WA State.

    The proposal that I see says muzzleloader scopes would be limited to 1x magnification. There is another proposal that would allow crossbows during muzzleloader season.

    Getting opinions on the first rifle

    ^^^^^^ I like this..... This boils it down very nicely. Good caliber choices for the activities you’ve described. I would also not rule out a similar setup with Bergara and/or Vortex. Find a shop where you can actually handle the rifle to be sure it “feels” right. If recoil is a concern, you...

    Barnes 175 Lrx

    Hey R. I have a bunch of H4350 you can try. If i was experimenting, I’d try some RL17 and play around with the recipe that Barnes recommends. It’s good to bump into you here. >T

    6.5 Creedmoor Barnes LRX H4350

    I am new to Barnes bullets. I am working on the same load as the OP. When I assembled a load that was .050 off the lands (Suggested by Barnes), the case mouth sits in between the two grooves in the LRX bullet. I can’t think of a reason that this (having one of the grooves exposed) would...
