Tikka .270

[Short Track]

Does anyone have a Tikka .270 ? I'm looking for boxed ammo that works.
I tried all the variations of Nosler. Not good enough. 2" groups.
I tried a few others. Not good enough.
I still haven't gotten my hands on ELD-X.
Any recommendations out there ?

Not with a Tikka, but I have gotten good results with the 130-grain Hornady Whitetail.

I don’t shoot a lot of copper bullets any more, but my 270 shot the 130 ttsx barnes bullets in their factory loading

The 130 SSTs in Hornady Superformance will likely shoot well.

I’ve had good luck with Fusions

Before I loaded for my Sako A7, I used 150g fed fusions and they shot well under an inch, closer to 1/2”

I had good luck with 145 Eldx precision hunter, 150 fusions, 130 tipped CL, 130 SST super performance, 140 tgk Sierra.

Still wish I had that gun. Tikka roughtech.

I'd try 145 grain

OP it sounds like you’ve tried 5-6 types of factory ammo and nothing has shot well. Is that right? If so I’d be checking action screws, scope mounts, rings etc. If all that checks out I’d be calling Tikka. Guns can be a little picky, but if they won’t shoot 6 different types of factory ammo it maybe points to a bigger issue of barrel or chamber.
