[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1689854, member: 10429"] My wife's rifle, she has the tikka T3 lite and I'm using 4831SC behind the 87grain berger. I tried several powders and the 4831SC produced the best group. H414 was the second best group and H4350 was the 3rd. I didn't have alot of time to put theses together but the 4831 was also the slowest. All 3 were about dime to nickle size groups so I'm sure with a little more tuning on either one they will work fine. We shot the 87 gr Berger out to 600yards with no problems. No tags this year so once it get a little cooler I'll work on the loads a little more. Also shot some Varget and it was the same as the 4350 but produced more speed. I think 4831 is just a little slow for the case and bullet size but it did yield a deer for here on her first hut. Found my load data. This is 1 grain off max charge weight and came straight out of the Berger manual. This load shot great group. size and was consistent. 87Gr VLD Berger COAL 2710 H4831SC=45Gr charge weight CCI BR2 primers. [/QUOTE]
