Thanks RB, That's the plan. I have a Lee single-stage press and appropriate dies. I've some reloading experience but certainly not as well versed as some on this site. I have purchased a LabRadar Chronometer that has very good reviews.

Totally understand, and thank you for the info. I'm taking a LR shooting class 4/5/24 and using my 300 WSM. As I learn more about building a round properly, if I get the bug on LR shooting, will be a precision-built rifle for the task. EVERYONE on this forum has been very helpful.

I'm new to long-range hunting and have little experience in rifle choices. but everyone I've spoken with says a made a good choice in Tikka. I purchased a Tikka T3 lite in 300 WSM Sub MOA out of the box. She does have some fire and a bit of a kick. I've no doubt it will serve me needs well.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this post. I am that new guy with a brand new Tikka T3 lite in 300 WSM. My next purchase is a kestrel 5700 elite Loading dies, brass, powder and primers. Until I get things dialed in, I’ll keep lurking and learning

Thx she came out looking pretty good

I got a Tikka T3 lite with a black stock in stainless steel 24 inch barrel. Since I hunt in woodland camouflage gear, and a guy in my neighborhood does hydrographic dipping, and had some extra material, I thought I’d get mine dipped. I’m pretty impressed with it

Hornady precision Hunter 200 grain produced a 1 MOA group at 100 yards.

Hey CO, In the interest of transparency that was with a lead sled. I was trying to take me out of the equation. And that was not my own bullet build, but Hornady precision hunter 200 Grain. The Teaka T3 did perform to 1MOA as guaranteed. I had that rifle completely disassembled so I...

Bill that offer for brass is very generous sir!! I have a 300 WSM however. Not many would offer free anything. Bless ya Partner Moby

Range time produced the Tikka promise of 1 MOA. Hornady Precision Hunter 200 grain I’m hopeful a hand build round can get to 1/2 MOA. I’d settle for 3/4. As previously advised 1/4 MOA is not likely with this rifle. Oh darn, I have to get a super sweet gun. LOL Moby

Hey Bill, You got me curious buddy. After a round his been fire formed in your rifle it is now customized to your particular chamber. What benefit do you get from resizing a fire formed cartridge? I’m learning about reloading. Moby

No such thing as a stupid question buddy. No need to resize brand new brass. Resizing is needed typically after shooting a semi automatic rifle as the brass keeps expanding for a very short time after coming out of the chamber. The new brass will “fire form” to your rifle. I’m assuming you...

This is a well-known business tactic of all businesses. Look at the price of oil. When the US started producing massive amount of oil we actually started exporting it in oil prices went way down. Look at the debeers but diamond company. They monopolize all the diamonds so they can control the...

Thanks Buster, It’s a goal, and then Tika may not be it. And I am just starting out. I have been pretty fair with the 308. And I know quarter in my way is a lot to ask. But eventually I’ll build a gun gun
