Whitetail doe, 223AI, 77gr TMK, 85 yards at 2710fps

Is that muzzle or impact velocity?

And i offloaded my factory tikka tube because it was never as consistent as i wanted with 75 ELDs and got a 7.5 twist ACE with a longer throat for the 75,80 eld, 80.5/85.5 bergers. After that i'm still primarily shooting TMKs

Is the accuracy better? I have not been super impressed with my daughters tikka 223 accuracy as of yet. It’s not terrible but it’s not what I personally prefer.

With some bullets/ammo, yes. With others, no. My factory tube shot ADI factory 55 SBK and 73 ELDm much better than my ACE tube. The ACE tube shoots ADI 69 SMK better and i've had better accuracy with 75 ELDm and a little better with 77 TMK. Buyer seems to have done better than I with 75 ELD in that factory tube though so maybe I'm the problem.

Muzzle velocity from an 18” barrel

Impact should’ve been roughly 2500fps

Interesting. I have had really good results out of my Tikka 223 with 75 Black Sabres, 73 ELDM, and Black hills 77 TMK. Most variable has been the ELDMs but all have been good.
