Compressed loads

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Once again thanks everyone for your time and experience.... Took out the new rounds this morning loaded at 40.5gr of imr - 4350 shooting through a Tikka T3X lite they where 2600 which is exactly what I wanted and shot a three shot group measured at .3ish center to center with mitutoyo calipers... Absolutely no tuning of seating depth.... WOW these Tikka rifles will shoot.... I think I am done with the 140gr SST now to move on to 129gr SST and see if likes them.... I have some 140gr SMKs to play with once I am done with the SST for my hunting load.... Maybe some hunting Berger bullets after that just to try , I heard real good things about them from all of you.... Just shocked the Hornady SST shot so well....

Right now I am using some small rifle primer federal gold medal brass simply because I have tons of small rifle primers now to move on to my large rifle primer starline brass and test a few and the 140gr load will be done... Hopefully it will be close to the small primer brass speed wise...

They sure do! A lot of gun for the money...those Tikkas.
