Tikka 243 factory and 112 match burners

[HighUintas]

Is anyone getting the 112 match burner to shoot well out of a Tikka factory 8 twist 243 ?

I've only seen one report of them being tried and the result wasn't good. I have a 22" factory Tikka 243 on the way, so I'm wondering if it's worth trying them or not.

How'd this turn out for you? I was looking at the tikka superlite and noticed it had a 1:8 twist. Curious if a guy could get those long bullets to work in that chamber and magazine.. Like the 108 eldm or a heavier monometal bullet.

Neither of my Tikka 243 8 twist guns liked it. 90 grain ELDX factory ammo shoots great.

Just an accuracy problem? Is the length of the bullet restricting?

8tw and muzzle velocity may be not giving sufficient stability.

108 ELDMs are good. 112 MB were horrible, they stabilized (no key holes or baffle strike), but took me from nothing worse that 2 MOA accuracy to 10 MOAish. I'm willing to bet the OP is referencing this picture.

108 ELDM on the left, 112 MB on the right. I tried 2 powders and quite a few charge weights, they were more accurate at lower velocity for me.

I throated my factory barrel out to be able to seat the bullet out further, but I don't know if that had really made much difference.

I ended up hunting with the 108 since I didn't seem to get any random flyers with it. I was going to go back and play with the 112 some more this winter. My accuracy was far better than what Marbles shows.
