Thread: 20" tikka 7RM load

Hi all,

My wife's new 7mmRM tikka build is almost ready so I'm thinking about getting some loads ready to try.
I'm currently running 73g of 2225 with a 162 amax out of my own standard length tikka barrel (3040fps) but I'm wondering how much I will need to back off for a 20" equivalent barrel to be safe. Yes I could just start low and work my way up but there must be 100's of 20" tikkas out there with a tried and tested recipe that's safe and works, ideally using 2225 and a 162 amax or eld-x/m. This rifle has a magnum DPT suppressor.

My wife borrowed my rem mag on the weekend and shot a young red stag with it at 350 yards so she's looking forward to having her own to use soon

Cheers,
Jamie
