Tikka T3 Lite Reloading.308
@ 10:11 pm (GMT) |
Michael BarthowI was wondering what i should be using for reloading this tikka below is what i thought from the little i know.ADI AR 2208 Powder (heard it clean burning and has been around for years so easy to get) Sierra Pro Hunter or Game King Projectiles (perhaps 50gr?) And i don't have a clue on guessing what primers to use. Have been using Remington core-lock up 2 now so figured it should be okay to re use that brass. My Rifle has a 1 in 11 twist rate and was told you can figure out projectile weight of that. any advice would be appreciated. |

Nathan FosterRe: Tikka T3 Lite Reloading.308Hi Michael, I would prefer you used 2206H (H4350) for this rifle.Projectile choice will come down to the type of hunting you do. Shane has just quoted you a suitable long range load. If you mostly hunt in close, the 165gr SST is a good option. Both of these are well suited to the T3, capable of shooting around .5" if the rifle is up to it and with sound shooting technique. There are several other forum members running the same or similar set up. I have put more detailed notes in the new book. |
