Got my dad a tika for Christmas
It’s a 243 with an eight twist in the process of trying different load combinations now first thing we did was test bullets each of us shot groups with the 112 match burner, the 108EDM, and the 108 elite Hunter below is my testing
The first image is 8 x 112 mb, 15x 108 eldm and 12 x 108 eh
The 108 eldm is best with a Mr of .39 for my 15 shot group and .34 Mr for my dads 10 shot group
And here is my dad’s. He shot three groups of 10 one for each of the bullets.
Next step find max pressure for the 108 eldm with h4350, h1000 and h4831sc

Super exciting and cool to get to do with your Dad. Consider using extreme spread (ES) instead of mean radius (MR). MR really doesn’t tell us anything…you need to see the targets to understand that group size. We really only care about our worst rounds when it comes to making a shot hunting. You can also have a great sounding MR with a bad ES, and a great ES with a bad sounding MR.
