    280 AI vs 30-06

    Here is a 7mm RM with a 162 eld-x loaded at tikka mag length (3.340" coal) vs having the bearing surface at the neck-shoulder junction (~3.540"). .280ai junction is .110" further back than 7mm RM so youd want to be around 3.430" with this bullet.

    280 AI vs 30-06

    If you're reloading long slippery bullets, you don't really want a long action cartridge in a tikka. No room in the mag. If you want to change the bolt face do a 7saum or 7wsm If you don't want to change the bolt face go 284 win. If you aren't that concerned about COAL do the 280ai

    Sierra Gamekings

    I like the TGK in my 6.5. I really wanted the 7mm 165gr but I haven't seen them anywhere since I started looking. Gave up and purchased some Norma Bondstrike loaded. OP, there was a bunch of Sierra stuff that came in stock at powder valley the other day. But you if you try and filter by "In...

    Finding LH Hunting Rifles

    Tikkas. I bought a 7mm rem on here used and there was just a .30-06 in the classifieds as well... They are available new occasionally as well. Less now than before... I've bought 2 new.

    .264 150gr ABLR experiences?

    FYI Shooters Pro Shop has blems for $65/100 and says they're in stock, but won't let me add to my cart. They're a bit heavy for my setup.

    Norma Bondstrike

    I came across this ammo a few months ago but it wasn't in stock anywhere. I ordered a hundred of the 7mm to try in my Tikka. The brass alone is over a dollar a piece and not in stock anywhere either so that makes the price a little more palatable. Hopefully it shoots well. I'm looking forward...

    Tikka 223 Reloading

    I have a 20" ctr. I am using N135 and found some decent results with the 75 eld-m: https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/223-projectile-high-b-c-short-bto.185355/post-2400752 I find it interesting that the "minimum twist" on the Hornady website, for the 75 eld-m, is blank. However the box I...

    Leica 2800-3500.com

    If you want help setting it up I'd be willing. I think I've got a decent handle on it now. The setup is the difficult part. Once you get it set up, it's simple to use - the same as a regular RF. I think it's quite nice to range and immediately have your DOPE, rather than consulting a kestrel or...

    You had .005" of variance? That doesn't seem close at all to me...

    Lyman Trim Xpress

    The powered unit? I'm using it and am happy enough with it. Pros: Fast Indexes off the shoulder Consistent Seems well made Seems like a good value Cons: Hard on your fingers (I wear a glove) Does not do chamfer/debur (I actually don't mind doing this manually after) Out of the box, mine had...

    Short barrel, suppressor, noise?

    I would expect the bigger suppressor/shorter barrel combo to be quieter. Velocity loss from shorter barrel will be as expected; whether the velocity loss matters depends on your desired effective range.

    Short barrel, suppressor, noise?

    I think 18.5" + 8.25" suppressor is just a bit too much to carry in the forest. Both for overall length and balance. I'm working on a 5.5" suppressor and it feels great on the 18.5" tikka. Not sure how quiet it will be but I think I'll be happy.

    7mm Rem Mag elk rifle

    :oops: You just showed everybody you don't know what you're talking about. Thresholds for expansion are in units of velocity, not energy. Saying a 6mm won't expand at 100y... Goooooolly. May I humbly suggest you just let it go?
