FINALLY!!! Tikka Left Handed 223's

[vonb]

Going to be shooting 75/77/88 grain bullets. Sticking with factory bottom metal, will the magazine work as issued or better to get one with better oal?

Factory bottom "metal" with factory magazine will allow an OAL of up to 2.300. This will work for your 77 grain bullets. With the 75 grainers, it'll work for Hornady HPBTs but not the ELD-Ms. The 88s are out of the picture and won't work.

The Mamba Mags could help- Tikka T3 SA .223 - 2.337" oal.

Shot mine Friday with some 73 gr ELD-Ms that I loaded up for my daughter’s gun. 23.2 gr Varget loaded to 2.26 with no load dev. Two shots to get close, quick 10 rd group, adjusted zero and took right out to 580 yards on steel. Now I just need my rokstock to complete the RSS.

How big is the dot?

How big is the dot?

It’s an inch-ish without measuring. It was shot in about 30-40 seconds so load likely shoots a bit better than what’s shown. Just purchased group analysis.

Out to shoot mine. .223 suppressed is too much fun.

She’s a shooter. Hornady 55gr zmax loaded with H322. This was a random ladder I made for my AR last year and never shot. Every group is a different powder weight. Stoked because I have gobs of these bullets and 10-ish lbs of 322 already
