Thread: Tikka T3 Reloading help

I have basically seated to mag length (recommended length in the ADI load data) is on the money. Will try and see what happens.

Mine shoots bloody well at mag length. 140 nbt and 42 gr 2208 is good for sub 1/2 inch

I load similar for a mate. Good brew

Try cut out the back of the mag (takes a bit of time to chip away at it) and put a piece about 10mm thick in there. Gives about an extra 1/8 inch in bullet length. Give win760 with mag primers a go as well, it's a well overlooked powder. Don't be afraid to go a little hot as well Tikka's can handle a little heat. Of course work up to it and watch for pressure signs

Before you cut anything, load some rounds longer so the bullet is close to the rifling, and test them by feeding your rifle single shot. If results on target are promising then you can do the surgery.
