    Tikka T3x Roughtech 300 win mag

    For my tikka roughtech it has a 1:10 twist as it’s marked on the barrel and it’s a 24” fluted black barrel with a tan stock. But it shoots the federal branded 180gr Barnes TSX (midway has them for a good price). I’m getting under an inch at 150yds with that particular ammo. I am more frustrated...

    Tikka T3x Roughtech 300 win mag

    Can I ask what COAL you’re loading in that? Any crimping? I tried the 190gr accubond and to seat them at 3.34” it almost looks like the curve of the neck is going into the case ever so slightly and man… getting some seriously flat noses on the polymer tips for any rounds in the mag, was...

    Disappointed in ELD-X/Tikka... Advice?

    For anyone that stumbles on this thread later, I had the same experience in a Tikka 300 WM. It will group 1.25" groups or so with 180gr Accubonds, but when I switched to 180gr TSX, it was closer to 0.5" groups @100yds. My theory is these win mags have a long throat, and the copper bullets do...

    Yep, very relatable. This is as close as I'll get to social media.

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    Get’R Done! I got caught in an office job and ate like I was still in the USMC, found myself way over weight and discovered Keto. Best way to lose weight for me was to keep myself accountable every day by weighing myself. I didn’t need to lose all the weight the next day, but I just wanted to be...

    Tikka / XLR 7mm PRC Magazine question

    Looking at doing a similar setup, Is there a lot of metal rattling with the metal mags or are they pretty snug? I hate super loose fitting mags

    Altitude sickness question

    I'd recommend sticking to the basics, take it easy the first day or two. Try to get a good amount of sleep. Eat what you normally eat, plan ahead of time.

    Long time lurker from ID

    Hey all, I'm a Marine Corps Veteran, and at the age of 36, I've decided that I want to go deer and elk hunting. I live in the great state of Idaho, born and raised in Wyoming. Only thing I've shot really are prairie dogs, then life just happened and never got a chance to figure out how to hunt...

    Tikka T3x 338 Win Mag

    100% agree. With the higher BC bullets like 190AB LR, you almost have to seat the bullet on the ogive to meet 3.340", max I got was 3.360" from a factory magazine. Makes me wish I would have gotten a 300 WSM instead. But 338WM has a shorter shoulder on the case, and would really give you some...
