   I'm reminded of the famous phrase - "Don't chop the dinosaur...". Good thing your tikka isn't a dinosaur - thread it Timmy!

   they were a very nice rifle - okay I am an unabashed early Tikka Sako fan - personally I would suppress it and use it - they are not rare and not overly collectable - now if it were a mint Sako...

   yes our old mate gimp here sums it all up pretty well- some DOC administered land is a no go for hunting - but do some research and see why if to you it seems it should be open for hunting - there...

   I'd run 155 TMK, 150 SST or 155 eld's in your situation with 2206h as its more available. at the moment getting primers is a mission though. but for factory ammo its pretty hard to go past hornady...

   Greetings again AngusM, If you have been shooting factory loads for a while hopefully you have been saving your brass. If so it might be a good time to have a count up. Lee Loaders size the case...

    Another tick for the 168gr eldm/amax. Just one of those combos that work better than it should. Mine load through a 16" is 45gr 2208 giving me 2520fps. Furthest deer was 635 yards.

    AngusM by 150 NBT is 2730fps and 165 Speer is 2530. Both with stiff charge of 2206H, dabbled with H335 but 2206H worked better for velocity and temp stability. Have shot a few animals out to 400m...

    Greetings AngusM, Hodgdon has loads in it's pistol section that would be a good place to start. 150 grain or 165 grain projectiles would likely be best to keep the velocity up a bit. Have a go at...
