Tikka 1-8 twist which Berger bullet

[The big greasy]

Which one would be better the Berger 80 grain or the 85 grain that is on the edge of needing 1-7? Tried the 75 eldm and the groups weren’t very good. This is just for long range target shooting. It shoots sierras not bad but want something better.

What cartridge?

If it's 223, you need to seat the 75 eldms longer than mag length

No issues there. I modded my factory tikka clip, it accepts real long now.

Reminds one of the posts that ask for information about hunting unit ##. They expect you to guess what state they’re referring to.

Here is the mag with a long bullet in it, where it was from factory.
You have to depress these tabs on the bottom on both sides, there are 4 to depress. It takes some doing and prying
Then once it’s apart one has to break apart the strip where the head stamp sits against, once removed just cut/file/grind the top back so the case can slide back further. Then glue the strip back flush with the new cut you made, I just held the strip where I wanted it and filled the little square channel with glue gun.
Then put spring back in and snap bottom back on.

Could try the 80.5 bergers. They shoot lights out in my 22 creedmoor 1-8 twist. The 75 eldms don’t shoot near as good out of my barrel

Might have to, same my gun doesn’t like eldm 75, but then again on the box it says 1-7 twist.
