Show your Tikka ten round groups

20 shot group @100 yds with .308 Win. I dint count the 2 to the right because I made a scope adjustment. Waited about 5-10 minutes between each group. This was my final hunting load. 150 gr Nosler Accubond.

Several 5 shot groups during load development at 100 yds with 308. Shot 5 rounds about every 15-20 minutes.

I got a Tikka .223 from Cabelas in their Roughtech D-18 version and it’s insanely accurate. With Hornady 73 grain match it did 12 shots into 0.69 MOA. Also shot an 8 round group with the cheap Hornady 55 gr SP bulk ammo into 0.9 MOA.

What’s your barrel length?

I took my original NRL rifle back out last weekend and it’s still hammering away after 3k+ rounds down the barrel. Shot 8 into just over .5”

Love to hear that. It is the 24" model, carbon steel rather than stainless. Load was a little different than yours - Lapua LRP, 210m, and probably a little longer COAL but the token 41.5 H4350 charge.

I paid $170 for this tube as a takeoff. With that kind of barrel life and the observed precision - it's one hell of a deal!

I got a good deal on Hornady 75 gr BTHP so I bought 1200 to pair with components I have on hand. These will be for practice. I loaded up 30 using:
24, 24.3 and 24.5 of LVR
CCI 400
Winchester brass with 4-5 firings
COAL 2.295
MV average was 2727, 2775, 2820 respectively
Shooting seated behind a plastic folding table which was ok, not stellar.
I’m new to reloading and open to any input.
All the little tears in the paper were from the granite backstop about 1 yard behind the target.

Had some similar looking groups where my POI started moving ~ 24.5 and I went up to 25.5-26gr of lever and it really tightened up there. Was out of an ar at mag length, but everything else was the same. Been my go to ever sense
