Show your Tikka ten round groups

[The Harbor Master]

A Superlite 7 Mag is not going to be easy to shoot little bug hole groups. 1” 10 round group is excellent. You got your load.

I think so too, and thank you. It's a heck of thump, and my first magnum so I'm definitely humbled.

I had a Tikka Superlite 30-06. With 178 ELDX handloads, it kicked as harder or maybe even harder than a 10 lb 300 win mag. When I was doing load development, I had to work much harder on form than a light kicker.

Here’s 21 (might have been 24?) at 100. Barrel had been off this action since last winter, cleaned with storage oil in it. Pushed a dry patch through it, screwed it on, dialed it down the 0.6 my notes said worked last time. Factory 6.5cm barrel from a donor action. Spartan bipod/rear bag from a wood bench.

Here's a group with a question.

Fired ten rounds from my T3x in 6.5CM into a little less than 0.7" inches yesterday.
I'm shooting a 140gr Sierra Tipped Gameking over 41.9gr H4350 in Starline SRP brass with BR-4 primers. Really happy with the results.

So here's my question -- I've fired over 200 rounds of this handload, using large rifle primers, in three different rifles and it shoots ten shot groups into about 1.2-1.3 MOA, reliably. This was my first attempt with small rifle primers with this bullet, and I plan to shoot another group this weekend. Anyone else seen 6.5 CM groups tighten up just by switching to small primer brass? Or is this just an anomaly?

Mine has that accuracy with 140 match burners and star line srp brass. I use cci450. I haven't tried it with lrp

Good to know, thanks.

Finally got to try some 77gr OTM, almost cut groups in half from the cheap PMC 55gr. I'll blame the evening low light for it not getting under 1moa, but I know I need to keep up the weekly practice.

Tikka T3 Varmint .223

 

[littlebigtine]

Shots 21-32 down the tube with factory norma match. Only gripe is how slow it is at 2550 fps avg out of a 18”. Havent tried any other ammo so we will see if its the ammo or the barrel

 

[Dioni A]

Here’s a 100 yard 30 round group out of my t3x stainless super lite 223. 73eldm loaded with varget using picked up brass from a shoot to hunt class.

Curious, as I don't use that Hornady app... are the green and blue circle x's used to indicate an inch for reference? If so, aren't those orange circles 1" at the outer edge?

Just wondering if maybe you're selling yourself short on the measurements.

Judging by perspective, I think those are 2" targets. Here's a 6.5mm group on 1" target for reference.

We are not posting up the worst ones, but those are pretty bad
Despite all the crap posted here , load development matters, seating depth has a big bearing on accuracy and technique really matters with light rifles

 

[Castle Rock]

Today slightly jammed and a grain of powder into the danger zone if you are the nervous type

You should start a new thread and we can help you sort out the issue.

Proof?

 

[HingleMcCringleberry]

A quick 20rd group with my new 223. Dot is 1.5", this was to determine final adjustments for zero. This was with federal 55gr bt. This was pre cut/thread. Will be interesting to see if a suppressor changes anything.
