A couple of 10-shot groups shot with the Tikka 7RM that I have for sale in the classifieds ()
FYI, I put a couple of clicks of right windage in it so that I don't shoot out the point of aim.
Load is 63.5 grains of 7828SSC, a CCI250, PPU brass, and 160 grain Nosler Partitions.
The shot on the extreme left of the second group was a called flyer, but you have to measure the whole system, including the shooter, right? All shots were fed from the factory mag.
A 20-round group shot from my 6.5 Creed. Barrel was chopped to 20" and threaded with a collar for use with a suppressor. Put an Atlasworx bolt handle on it and put it in a Stocky's VG stock.
Load is 43.0 grains of Staball 6.5, a CCI200 primer, in Starline brass, shooting a 140 grain Sierra TGK. I am getting 2603 fps with this load, so I think there may be room for a bit more speed. I have really just started messing around with this. I also have some 140 grain SSTs and some 143 grain ELDX bullets to play with.
Picked up a "used" .223 t3x lite so I can set it up for the kids so I don't have to tear down my RSS. When I received it it looked like it maybe had a box of shells through it. Mounted a 3-9x Burris fullfield, reduced the trigger pull, degreased, paint pen, and torqued everything. Used some handloads I had kicking around from my other .223. 73 gr eld-m, imr 4064, fed 205, in LC brass. I think theres 12 or 13 in that group... haven't even floated the barrel yet, everything is bone stock.
Strong crosswind when shooting, but I was really happy with the results. Not sure how much the wind really matters for this close anyway. Back in the saddle with the Tikka .223.
Picked up a new Tikka T3X lite SS in 223 the other day. This was shots 15-25 through the gun. I was fighting with dust and mirage during this group because I was rushed for time. I was thoroughly impressed given the conditions.
