Tikka 223 Reloading

[The_BuckingSpot]

Bringing up a very old thread here. I’m seeing 77smk factory seconds on midway right now. I have 400tmks that I’d like to save for hunting/when I have more rounds shot with the gun itself. Do SMKs fit to mag length in my tikka mag and also my AR mags? If not it kind of defeats the purpose of this rifle. Tikka T3x lite.

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks. Wasn’t sure if they had a different length.

I’m using TAC with 75 ELDM in a stainless T3 Varmint. Excellent accuracy and velocity. Loading long (2.477”) using Mountain Tactical magazines.

Here’s two 3 shot groups I shot today with TAC and 75 Eldm’s as part of load work up.

I was seeing if you had found a good load for your Tikka 223 and what the details are? I just picked one up and trying to work something up with 73gr ELDM. I can't private message yet, so I replied here.
