Show your Tikka ten round groups

Factory take off 24” D18 barrel, confirming zero with Federal TRU 140 TMK’s at 100, then again at 300.
The high shot at 300 coincided with the highest outlier in both groups velocity wise (27fps above average), but could have been the guy running the trigger all the same.
Off and on wind from 10 o’clock with a swirl after 100 yards.
Side note: Aver. 2683 fps, box says 2680… thank you federal for not pulling a ‘hornady’ and having some consistency with what’s advertised.

Older T3, Shilen 7x57 Tikk/Age (barrel nut), sporter barrel, around 7.75 lbs scope and all. Since I can't find N555 currently and don't know when/if I'll ever see any more, I was looking for a substitute. This was 10 rounds of 162 ELD-X in PPU brass over a fair bit more AA4350 than Hodgdon suggests, around 2625 FPS from a 22 inch barrel. Looks like pretty low pressure on the primers, I could certainly heat it this up quite a bit more, but really, why? I will need to dial my scope 1 click to the right if I intend to carry on with this powder, but I feel like that's probably doable, if it comes to that.

This gun makes me want to throw rocks at all my other guns, LOL.
