Tika 223 Magazine question.

[GlennGTR1]

I have heard that even though the Tika has a one in eight twist that it wont feed the longer bullets out of its magazine. The magazine is too short? I dont think I would shoot anything over 70gr in weight, more than likely Sierra 65gr Game kings. Those of you that own one of these rifles, what is the longest bullet your magazine feeds well.

I don't own a Tikka, but generally the longest bullet that can be shot "mag length" out of a .223 Rem. is the Sierra Match King 77gr. The 77gr. SMK works great in every AR-15 I own with a 1-8" barrel. The 77 gr SMK was designed as a mag length bullet.
