Justin,
How far off the lands are you and is this the stock barrel? Thanks

Yea stock tikka barrel. I believe they are .050” off the lands but forget. They don’t seem picky. Shoot just as well .010 off

My stock tikka seems to like .040 with H1000 and 58.5 grains (2920 FPS avg) (10 shot group, 1.2 moa/// and 5 shot group .81 moa). Didnt group at .020 with 58.5 (10 shots, 1.7 moa ). Gun was terrible at H1000 58 grains .040 ( 5 shots, 1.5 moa)

Spent 100 rounds chasing my tail with N565. It just wouldnt work despite what everyone says. Glad I didnt order 8lbs. I tried multiple seating depths and charges.

On another note the only factory ammo my gun shot well was Hornady 143 ELDx. Everything else was 1.5 moa for 5 shots or more

My gun is 24" superlight
