    That's benchrest-losing precision! There's guys out there with custom built benchrest rifles, "tuning loads" and choosing to compete in benchrest, getting those kinda groups

    I got pretty excited the rifle was going to shoot everything. Made me believe the legendary tikka accuracy claims. Then I shot other 50 grains and 60s and it did only slightly worse. Reloads embarrassingly yield worse results. Shame those cheap fiochi rounds with consistently off centre flash holes don't have a better BC. I never did try TMKs to see if they would match the 55s
