[QUOTE="britz, post: 199314, member: 7865"] I think he means well suited handloads. Play around and find the one that shoots the best. I've had the best luck with 180 gr Accubonds and h4350 powder. I had no luck with 165 grain bullets and the 200 on up take up too much case capacity. You are limitedd in the tikka for the Cartidge overall lenght because of the magazine and I wasn't able to get the bullet seated close to the rifleing because of this. However, I found that my particular rifle shot best with the bullets seated at max magazine length (possibly a little lucky). So inother words I shoot with a little freebore and I'm OK with that. I was using fireformed win cases (neck sized that is) and they shot very good for about 3 or so loadings. After that I started experienceing tight bott fit and more fliers. So I am currently experimenting with partial FL resizing and CCI BR2 primers (hard to come by now) to try to find another load that will give me consistent .5 or less MOA groups. Also, I forgot to mention that I did take the stock out and opened up the barrel channel towards the end of the barrel to make sure that it wouldn't touch when I shoot off of a bipod. Min [/QUOTE]
