Three ifs:

If you reload
If those 75s are ELDMs
If your Tikka is a 1-8"

Try this:

I do not reload....yet.
The round used for the time being is Hornady #80261
1-8 twist

Thanks for sharing your work-up.

Given the consistency with OTS rounds, I can easily see this rifle being very accurate.
I researched them quite a lot. Tikka was going to be my 223 bolt gun. The distance and accuracy was inspiring.
The same rifle I have shooting out to 800-1000+yards (reloads of course) inspired me to get one.

Don't get me started on Tikka accuracy, I'll tell you more than you want to know.















They're boring to load for.

Those groups are very good.
Boring to load for, sounds like you need another Tikka!!

If you buy a Tikka, plan on aftermarket magazines. Other than that (Plus reloading) to get max accuracy for longer bullets.

Other than that, follow Pharm's advice.

Mine shoots well enough that I have been called a liar because I didn't post pics of the groups.

I'm assuming most folks get this, but it's worth stating- A 75 grain bullet with a BC around .400 moving about 2900-2950fps has a trajectory/drift that is VERY similar to many favorite big game rounds. Out to 500 yards, pretty much the same correction for our 270, 7x57, 30-06 and 223. A great way to be educated without absorbing a bunch of recoil energy.

The price of aftermarket box mags were a bit of a shock. A cornered market.
The good thing, mags that can be more useful for reloading.

 

[Flatfish]

The bad thing is Tikka made throat waaaay too long for mag box. No reason for it that I can figure. I spent 200 bucks on mags on a 550 dollar rifle.

Load them single.

Where's my $200?

 

[Member 34319]

So, is there a mag fee Tikka in 223 or 556 I need to look into?

 

[Flatfish]

I think it's mountain tactical that made mine. They do Tikka after market stuff.

Tikka TSR-1 in .308 on a factory installed US Made McRees G10 chassis in sniper gray.

These are factory Tikka's with a US Made McRees Chassisall built originally for PRS competition. It's the T3 CTR, factory (in the US) installed on the custom chassis. I dug it as close to a custom built but still factory made rifle on a great chassis.

I have Vortex Razor HD 4.5x27 x 56 glass on Vortex rings, with an Accu-Tac F class bi-pod and Griffen Recci7 Supressor.

I love this set up so much I actually built up a twin for one to cool why the other is on the line. Only the Griffen is shared, still waiting on the ATF on the 2nd one 9 months in.

180 grain Sierra Match Kings love this set up. Still tweeking the load but its sub .65" when I can do my part.

Only 400 of these made, so 398 others out there. Artical on Recoil Web on them when they came out:

This was yesterday. Just couldn't upload it yesterday.

 

[snarlingdog]

And I have all the reloading stuff for the 270 so that's a money saver. But I'm really interested in the 7mm08

7mm-08 less recoil, better BC bullets, and it punches waaay out of its weight class.
