I spun on a Tikka barrel and it did not head space with the gauges I had. Spoke to Tikka they had me put tape on the no go gauge to increase the length and told me it was within Sami spec. So the chamber on this one is on the long side I guess. Probably why that take off wouldn't fit.
Either...
No, it never shoot well. I cut the barrel off and bought a different take off barrel. The new barrel did not head space so I never shoot it. I spoke to proof and they guaranteed their barrel would head space so I ordered one but it's a very very very long wait. I was concerned that it could have...
In california so I have to shot non toxic. Wanted to develop a load for my AR10 to potentially hunt pig. Using a Barnes TTSX 130 and BLC2 powder. I started loading at the COAL recommended on Barnes but ran into compressed load way below max. So I started loading them at magazine length. There...
Lol, everybody wants to buy my crummy shooting t3! I gave $400 for it and was planning to rebarrel and put it in a new stock. I thought I would just use it as is for a year. Now I'm sucked into finding out what's wrong with the thing!
Bottom metal looks in fine shape.
The rounds I have shot are all barnes.
139 lrx
150 and 160 both I believe are tsx
My handloads were (from memory) 65.3gr of rl22 and a 145gr barnes lrx.
My next move is to shoot some standard lead bullets.
I'll try a box of lead bullets I guess. I live in California so we have to be lead free but if I'm hunting something that needs a 7mag I probably will be out of state. It's worth a try. Thanks
Scope is torqued correctly and shows no signs of moving after that many shots.
Don't think it's barrel heating up. I shot video of the groups and they don't start small and then get bigger as the barrel heats up in the group.
As for recoil, that was my first thought as this gun was no fun to...
I bought a used tikka 7mm rem mag. Supposedly 40 rnd fired. I shoot some Barnes 139, 150 and 160 and was not impressed. nothing really close to MOA. So a did some load development with Barnes 145gr and still nothing good. Best i could get was good vertical dispersion but bad horizontal.
I took...
