Tikka 7 PRC Ammo Recommendation

[CaliforniaSunGrown]

Hello, just bought a Tikka T3X Lite 7PRC with the 22” blued barrel. If you also have one, what factor hunting ammo does your rifle like? I haven’t shot mine yet and I will be grabbing a few different boxes before I hit the range. Just curious to see what’s working. Thanks

I don’t have a tikka but my 7PRC really likes the Federal 175 ELDX. Very consistent so far.

Also not a Tikka, but my X-Bolt 7 PRC really likes Federal Premium Terminal Ascent 170's.

I have a Tikka 7 prc but it has a proof research 22" barrel. It's shot 175 eldx, 180 eldm and 165 Norma bond strike all well.

does anyone have reports on the hornady outfitter 160gr cx? california hunter here.

I've only ran one combo in mine so far but it's working well. I'm running a 22 inch Muller 8 twist barrel. Loaded with H1k, 180 Hybrids in ADG brass at 2880, .5MOA to 600.

I'm hoping to have a minute to try some H4381SC very soon. I hear it's unicorn dust for the PRC.

I would 2nd that federal eldx 175

No report on the factory ammo, but I run the 160 cx in both my 7PRC and 280 Ackley. Both rifles run them around 2900 fps (the 7 PRC has a 20" barrel). Only killed an elk and mule with them so far but they shoot really well and seem to anchor animals fast. Both shots were inside 200 yards.

Here's a 10 shot group out of the 7PRC with 160's just off of a Harris bipod and a rear bag
