I had trouble with my Redding die, couldn’t bump the shoulder enough so had to get a hornady FL die, those comp shell holders would probably do the trick.
@JoshC I grabbed a couple of box’s of them to, are they killing well at 500?
Starting test 53-57gn RE26 @2.950 COL.

Very please with first rounds and reconnecting with that Tikka goodness. Lovely rifle to shoot.
First shot 53gn off to right after bore sighting. Adjusted scope to left and then shot 54, 55, 56, 56.5 and 57gn loads into a respectable group. Speed per photo. Ideally, I'd like a bit more and as nil pressure signs shall try again.
3 shot 56.5gn group shot fastish to see how SD is looking.
I'll load some more up in 0.5gn steps from 57.5gn and see where I sit.
Looking positive.
Also shot the Kimber 308 with H2 suppressor on and that shot a great group too.
Was bloody cold and dark enough that I had the lighted reticle going.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3162a594fc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cb044cd8c4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d69e6a7033.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...eec48d3a92.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...92f8529d28.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...034777bf95.jpg

How longs the barrel @Tikka7mm08 lots of promise mate
24"
Plenty more room in that cartridge!
Yeah there sure is...I was quite surprised.
Your top speed is still below my 6.5-284, imagine it will be north of 3000 when you finish up. Would be good to have some warmer weather for testing.
Agreed.
53gn on left and 57gn on right. I l'm not sure there is much further to go and mindful the barrel should speed up after 50-70rounds down it...perhaps.
Interesting hornady manual puts 57gn RE26 and 140-143gn at 3150 fps. Say a 26" barrel so may be 3050fps in my 24" Tikka. So still a far way off.
Hopefully not raining tomorrow.

PS don't worry about ejector marks...I used the worst cases sold to me for the starting loads.
