I'm getting ready to buy a complete reloading set up for my 6.5 Tikka. I haven't reloaded in over 40 years. I have been shooting factory ammo up to now. My CTR 24" shoots very well with factory Norma Golden Target 130s, Berger 140 hybrids and Sig Elite 140s (all I've tried). With 3 shot groups it is always sub-MOA with any of them at 100 and 200. I have just started shooting F-class at 600 and 1000 with the Norma and I would like to do well. How difficult will it be to make better ammo than factory? I anticipate on spending over $1,000 to get set up to reload, plus components. I have plenty of 1X brass. I got some Federal 210 LRPs recently. Was planning on using the Norma brass, Fed 210 LRPs with H4350 powder and try some Berger Hybrid bullets 130 & 140, and some SMK 142s. It will be very disappointing to not be able to make better ammo than factory. I could buy quite a bit of ammo for that $1000+!
Thanks!
