    Well that was boring, like most load development for Tikkas ;-) Gotta love that.

    Awesome I would have cut it shorter but time didn't allow as we are off to the kaweka for a week soon so I would have been cutting it fine.

    Surely you need to stuff around with seating, or try some different powder or primers. Might tighten up that group!!!

    Yeah I think another.1 of powder might just do it.
    The new Delta 4x24 makes shooting so easy.

    25/08 IMP,
    Have you got it set up with the long magazine and bolt stop or factory medium length? just wondering if the COAL is similar to that of your finn / carbon light?

    COAL in the Tikka with long mag and bolt stop is 2.941 I can't remember the mag length of the sako the measurement I have written down seems too long so it must be to Ojive.
    The Tikka med magazine is shorter than the sako med action.
    I hope that helps, the sako was jumping 50 thou

    Thanks great thankyou. I’ve got an old 75 finnlight and some RL26 to try in the .270Win. I use RL19 in the .260 which is very accurate but slower by quite a bit. Will give the 26 a run in the .260R this summer.
