Hi does anyone have a load for a Tikka 1.8 twist using AR2206H powder and 73gr ELDM's?
I had a rough crack with 23gr, 23.5gr and finally 24gr. The 24gr's of powder was my best but not quite as good as I would like.
I noticed its right up there at max so thought I would ask the question to see if there was a good bugger or 2 here that might share with me their pet load.
Kind regards
Adam
@300wsm for life might be running that combo..?

I stuck with the 2208 because it gave the lowest es and 3 bullets touching at 100. But the BM2 grouped good well. Hope this is of some help
Thank you so much, this is good info. I think another .2 of a grain and ill see if it improves or not, if it does then I won't be far off.Quote:

Thank you GPM for this info it is very good of youQuote:

As grandpamac said it depends on your case I use adi brass and 62grn hornady btsp and tryed upto 26.2grn but got a good load at 25 and there is room for more powder. I also have some starline brass and at 25grn it is fill and slightly compressed with 69grn targex. All loaded with 2206h and in a t3x 1/8 20 inch barrel
Thank you much appreciatedQuote:

I found BM2 was 200fps slower than 2206H. I use BM2 in 55-62gr max because of the lower speeds.
Thank you everyone for your input and help, I will post an update once I get a chance to get out again.
A big thanks to @300wsm for life who spent time talking me through alot of what I need to know and steering me in the right direction, certainly a top bloke.

Pleased you found it useful. It's good to be able to help others, @tikka has taught me everything over the last 3-4yrs about reloading.
looking forward to hearing how you get on in the end with this rifle..... still seems odd to me that you having so many issues with what should be straight forward enough.... most .223s shoot pretty straight without much fuss or bother.... hopefully you will suss this out soon enough.
