    Tikka 'bush hunter' factory ammo

    I have a question for you non-reloaders out there.....

    Can anyone recommend me some factory ammo that shoots well in their Tikka 'bush hunter'

    Might save me a bit of time trying out different stuff.

    Cheers

    winchester 180grn powerpoint.....gentle shove recoil and kills like nothing else in the calibre...HUGE blood trail ,not long blood trail mind.
    its one of the softest projectiles and it expands really well.... always recomend this for .308 and bush hunting.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Sako ammo is guaranteed to shoot 1 moa I believe in all Tikka and Sako rifles. If you can find the 50 round boxes of 150gr soft point the price is quite good to.

    I've never used it but have recommended it to a few people with no complaints and it's certainly an easy button.
