    Tikka 223 trainer

    what was your 75gr eldm load? These were my 5-shot groups with 20.3 - 23.8gr of TAC in .223 Starline Brass. I got pressure signs at and over 23.8gr. I have tried 73gr eldm, 75gr eldm, and 77gr TMK and I have not found a repeatable sub-MOA group with TAC. Looking for any suggestions. I might...

    Tikka 223 Load Development & Accuracy Questions

    Hey all - I have tried 73gr ELD-M and now 77gr TMK with Ramshot TAC powder at various powder charges (22-24.5gr range) and also different seating depths (0.020" off the lands and also 2.260" COAL). I just cannot get a good group. Here are 10 groups from today and they are awful. Any ideas on...

    Pressure signs

    Can you give more details for your load on this / COAL, CBTO? I am working up a load with that next. I have a T3X Lite .223 as well.

    Question About Tikka CTR Stock and 223 Mags

    Here's the rifle. I wanted it to be as much like a CTR as possible, so I picked up some OEM parts off ebay - the oversized bolt handle & the CTR picatinny rail.

    Question About Tikka CTR Stock and 223 Mags

    If you find a good load for that, let me know, I haven't tried 75 eldm yet. I saw a lot of data for 77 TMK, so I went that route. What powder are you planning on using?

    Question About Tikka CTR Stock and 223 Mags

    I did this exact thing - new t3x .223 lite into a t3x ctr stock (with bottom metal) I pulled from a 6.5CM. I had to buy a .223 caliber specific CTR magazine (about $100). I had to remove the metal clip that was attached to the trigger before dropping the barreled action into the stock. While I...

    Tikka 223 Reloading

    I was seeing if you had found a good load for your Tikka 223 and what the details are? I just picked one up and trying to work something up with 73gr ELDM. I can't private message yet, so I replied here.

    pick my powder

    Did you find a good load for this? I just took mine out to the range and couldn't get a 5-shot sub MOA group with 73gr ELDM and Ramshot TAC. The best group had maybe 0.5 MOA if I took out a flyer, but it can be better. I seated 0.020" off the lands like I would in my 6.5 CM rifle. I tried the...

    pick my powder

    Is the limitation of the 75's the magazine or something with the chamber? I am switching the t3x lite over to a ctr stock & ctr magazine.

    pick my powder

    I'm also picking up a Tikka 223 soon. I managed to find one for $600 shipped, no tax. If I had to just start with one weight of bullets, what would it be? I have been reading about 69gr and 77 TMK, but also 73gr and 75gr ELD-M. I was leaning towards the 73gr ELD-M. It seems that Varget is the...
