Thread: Tikka 308 loads

Just trying to help a mate out with some accuracy work with factory ammo today but struggled to get under 1.25moa .
I shot some hornady privi and flying bricks with some lapua match for luck.
I am probably going to try some hand loads if i cant find some factory ammo that goes good.
As he is happy enough shooting factory at the moment has any body stumbled on factory ammo that groups paticuarly well in the T3 308 or their pet hand load with hornady projectiles and 09/08/or 06h for powder and fed primers as there must be hundreds of these rigs out there that are been shot.
i shot this rifle prone of a short bipod with back bag and used the ocw method so as to take out the heating and fouling variables.
looking forward to some help from this knowledgble bunch!
Cheers Andy

Cool ,my mates got some n140 so will try that

Its not a fast load but still a serviceable hunting load that has never failed to shoot well in a number of different brands of factory 308s

Why do'nt you ring the Tikka King from Ashhurst, Im sure he's done one or two before

As for factory ammo, The T3 308 I had a few years back loved Hornady Custom 150grs
