New Tikka rifles - T3x Ace

[Carl Ross]

Aren't 90% of factory class guys shooting 65cm? Very few rifles besides havak are notable entries in 6mm fast twist.

Probably? Didn’t they just change the factory class to not having power factor or 6.5 min w/ factory ammo last season? Thought that was a change so maybe not fully caught on yet.

Factory class has had no power factor requirement since 2023 I believe.

At the last one I attended, maybe 80% made it anyways. You could shoot a plastic stocked Tikka 243, or I think a 6 Creed Springfield Waypoint, along with the Seekins if you want to play with a 6mm.

I was just taking with Travis Ishida and I believe he said if your shooting factory ammo you don't need to make power factor but if your shooting anything else(reloads) then you must make power factor.

That’s a different thing than factory class. No power factor in factory class. Separately in open light and heavy classes if you are shooting 6.5 creed or larger with factory ammo weighing 130 grains or heavier, you are not subject to power factor. Load the same bullets in handloads and you are subject to power factor.

The Norma 130 6.5 ammo I have wouldn’t make power factor in my factory tikka barrel for example but would be viable in any class if I wanted to shoot it.
