Show your Tikka ten round groups

[mad_angler]

I'm just getting started...

This is a 10 round group with 556 Frontier 55 gr FMJ through a Tikka 223.

Can I blame any of the spread on the ammo or do I just stink?

Oh it can definitely be ammo. I have a barrel on a gasser that will shotgun pattern PMC FMJ ammo about 10", and then put a string of Hornady V-Max into about 1". The first time I shot it was so bad I thought the barrel was loose or something. Try a different ammo for sure!

My trainer .223 did not like a lot of factory loads. I don't have a picture of any of the 55 or 75 (?) gr Frontier loads, but they were similar to the first picture here.

It really likes ADI 55 gr Blitzkings and 69 gr SMKs. Second picture is a 20 rd group with Blitzkings.

Here is my contribution. Worked up some loads for the .223 to see what a new bullet liked.
Bullet: Hornady 68gr BTHP
Powder: 8208 XBR
Gun: Stock .223 Tikka 1:9 twist

From left to right, 22.5gr - 23gr - 23.5gr

I believe the "flyers' on the far left group were from me.

First off I take zero credit for any of this, I had a buddy build my T3 6.5CM as well as the ammo. But that being said its an awesome gun. 130 TMK's
