[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 979157, member: 30671"] I have Tikka T3, .223, 20" 1-8" twist barrel. I've just bought the Leupold 2-12x for it. Intended use coyotes, and sage rats. The scope comes with the opportunity to have a custom turret installed. Generally I bounce bullet to bullet, and just re-sight, but I'm going to give this a try. In doing so committing to a bullet and load is necessary. Choices: 1) 60 grain V-Max, shoots well in the rifle, smacks rats, and I have it on good authority it's an excellent coyote load. In the field it visibly falls behind the heavier bullets. Is available. 2) 80 grain A-Max, I haven't shot this one yet, no reason to believe it won't shoot. It's also available. It gives up a bit in velocity, and doesn't gain much in BC, and I've right or wrong got it in my head 80 is to heavy for the .223. 3) 75 grain A-Max, I've 2 boxes, but are currently unavailable. The rifle shoots the heavies better. Definitely likes the Hornady Superpeformance Match 75 grain. Leaves a little on the table in expansion on rats. So do I go with what's available right now, or start with my remaining 75's, and hope the drought ends. [/QUOTE]
