New Browning Xbolt 2 vs T3x

[nobody]

Is this a Tikka 6.5 creed?? My 22” is only doing 2570 with Hornady factory 140’s. Is anybody else getting those kind of speeds with Hornady factory ammo?

Yup. 6.5 creed, Veil Alpine model, similar to a roughtech ember. No modifications other than turning the trigger down and loctiting the action screws.

I also run hand loads at the same velocity. 140 ELDM, 41 grains H4350, Remington 9 1/2 magnum primer, Hornady brass. No pressure signs, no work up, no effort, just seat it to where the boat tail transition meets the neck-shoulder junction.

My old T3X CTR 20” blued model would run the same loads (factory and hand load with same data) at 2590. Only a sample size of 2, but my tikkas have always been in line with velocity expectations

I’m getting 2510 out of my 18” 6.5 creed tikka with factory hornady match 140.
Getting 2615 with factory federal Berger hybrid 140’s.
