.308 Win, factory Tikka sans B&C stock.

20 round ladder covering 3.8 grains to find pressure. The two high shots were 2 of the top 3 charge weights, likely over pressure. Backed down 1 grain from the top and ran with it.

I just picked up a 308. What’s your recipe?

I just picked up a 308. What’s your recipe?

That ladder was shot with 150 gr Hornady Interlock SP (not the boattails) that I got a screaming deal on. I have loads for 165 AB, 175 Berger VLD that are probably more “precise” than this and a 150 TTSX load that is sub minute as well for this rifle.

Disclaimer: Always work up loads, as this is safe in my rifle but may not be in yours.

I settled on the following charge:

150 Hornady Interlock SP
46.4 gr Varget
CCI-200
COAL: 2.815”
Lapua Brass 4x currently
~2840 fps from 22” barrel @ 48 deg F

10’shots
107 yrds
Tikka 16”223 with U7
Maven RS1.2 UM rings Rokstock
AAC Sabre 75 back tips.

Clearly ammo matters. same rifle 5 mins later but with AAC 77OTM. Clearly I am going with the 75’s for practice.

That’s AAC. Zero consistency. The next lot of the 75gr Blacktips you get has a good chance of shooting like the OTM’s.

I quit buying aac because of the lack of consistency. Used to be pretty decent, but lately its been hot garbage.

Agree. I bought 1000 rds of the 77OTM and 500 of the 75 Blacktips. At least 3 Different lots for each load based on the info on the package.
The 77’s have been designated for AR practice. I won’t buy PSA again.

Found Hornady 62FMJ Black shoots decent and need to get another 1000 to practice with for an Antelope hunt. I did the shooters drill and realized I suck and need to practice.

ADI 55gr Blitzkings and 69gr SMK shoot very well, and are consistent.

 

[HighUintas]

I'm not sure of the current consistency, but I'd found Scheels fiocchi target max 5.56 55gr to be accurate and consistent (several lots last year) in my Tikka

 

[TradLife406]

Played with the new 223 with AAC 77 tmk

I hate the factory stock. Can't wait to rokstok it. Definitely pulled a couple. But for a factory pipe and cheap 5.56 ammo I'll take it
