Tikka 6.5cm or 243 for new rifle purchase

[Elite]

Last Friday I was tuning an eBay parts 20” Tikka .243 barrel I had just acquired. Runnin off the shelf 90 gr ELD-Xs they were hitting 2989.0. Went thru several boxes of shells and chrono’d every shot thru my Garmin and saw similar. Here’s the first 10 shot session:

That’s impressive

I've not killed with the 90 ELDX, but have been very impressed with the 108 ELDM. If you're not hand loading, I'd definitely be looking to purchase 108's from UM to get the most out of the 8 twist .243 win.

6.5CM is fine, though the more 6mm I shoot the more I think it is the way. It's a shame Tikka doesn't do a 6CM factory rifle.
