Thread: 7mm RM Load for Tikka T3 with ADI 2217 and 162g ELD-M

Thx Rigga. Barrel is a standard Tikka 620mm. I am trying to get an accurate load that shoots a 162g eld-x at about 2975fps to match my Swarovski PBC turret. Had not thought of changing the primers.

Anyway have loaded up some rounds with 2225. Will report back on the results once I get to the range.

PS; Also have a Sako 85 22-250 which shoots well with 2208. Might try the bm2 load.

Yeah rossm-96 I have heard that 2208 was ok in 22-250 but I had my load and didn't bother going any further
My son has a 22-250 in Ruger 26'' barrel and uses 2209 and very accurate
I've found vld's the most accurate in 7mm then eld-m then eld-x but all within the .5 range but temperature will affect the eld-x more if the
ammo is slightly warm the group will move out to .7 at so
The vld in my rifle likes to be in the lands for best accuracy
I found that changing primers does benefit accuracy as much as anything else when it came to fine tuning a load
Hope ya find a load and hope it doesn't cost too much to do so
cheers

By the way mate I didn't mention that all the eld-m and x like to be as close to the lands as possible in my rifle
but not touching totally different to the vld's that like being in the lands enough not to stick
