Great speeds from a 20”. What barrel are you running?

Just a plain old Tikka

Did you reachamber a tikka barrel or put another brand (hardy, proof, etc) on it?

I just had a standard Tikka barrel rechambered.

Interesting what was the original barrel? I used a 7rem mag as donor for the action but got an Hardy barrel. I didn’t think the barrel twist of the original barrel was enough

It was a 7-08 barrel and action 1x9.5 twist and I thought the same about twist rate but it seems to shoot 180grn fine but I'm yet to try it on targets over 350 yards.

Berger recommend a minimum twist rate of 1:9 for 195 eol. You might give up a tiny amount of bc which will have a effect down range, but for a hunting rifle, you nor any animal you shoot will be able to tell the difference
