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

Don't over think it Andre, get in behind your rifle and do some shooting - start tweaking things once you have the fundamentals sorted ( even if you don't need to tweak thing you will, cause we all do!)
...and buy a chronograph so I can use it!!
