    Heavy vs. Light Bullets

    I shoot 210 Bergers when I need a "no worries" - range up to 600 meters or so. Tikka T3 Tactical. 300 WM. Yeah I know that´s not exactly far out. I can hit an A4 at 500 m but that´s it. Bergers are very nice boolits. I also use a big game boolit called "Mira" that has an almost identical...

    338 Lapua reamer question

    [ QUOTE ] I have a loaded round diagram that another member here posted for me that shows the neck diameter being .372" at the neck shouolder junction and .370" at the case mouth. [/ QUOTE ] I´m measuring a factory (Lapua Scenar Moly) round at the moment and it shows .3715 at shoulder and...

    Best Progressive Reloader

    Hornady here and it´s not very easy. It is quite difficult to set up initially and I don´t bother to change calibers very often, especially changing the primer size is quite a show. But accuracy is good and once you get it working it´s working just fine. I use it for 30-06 and 308 (and 45...

    how much scope is enough?

    [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I´d say 10x is enough for up to 1000 meters/miles or so for deer size targets. [/ QUOTE ] Heck I shoot golf ball sized targets out to 1000 miles all the time with my eleventybillionsuperbanger magum and a 10x scope [/ QUOTE ] Oops my yards became miles lol...

    Browning, Savage, or Tikka?

    There is one weird design flaw in T3 Tactical 300 WM though: You can not fit "too long" cartridges in the magazine. This is some legal-security-lawyer thingy, Ive been told. Anyway,this may be a problem for someone. I thought it would be a problem for me. But it isn´t. We haven´t found ANY...

    How much gun?

    [ QUOTE ] The thing is you certainly have to pay a big price in terms of recoil etc for not a huge gain in power. Increased cost for diminishing returns. [/ QUOTE ] Hey, can you use mufflers / silencers legally down there? They take sooo much recoil away. I much prefer them compared to a...

    Rabbits with Dogs???

    [ QUOTE ] I'd go with the beagle idea. Been there done that and got a lot of rabbits. The bark of the dog lets you know where the rabbit isn't and where it is/was headed. Great fun. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, beagles are very good at that. My neighbor has a couple of them, amazing dogs. And...

    how much scope is enough?

    [ QUOTE ] I'll probabaly top out at 600 yards. The vast majority of shots around the 300 to 400 mark. I was going to buy a Diavari 3x12x56 and then was thinking that I may need more power. [/ QUOTE ] The better the glass quality, the less magnification is really needed. Quite a matter of...

    How much gun?

    [ QUOTE ] Stick with the 08 for deer within 500 m and paper to 1k. If you want to kill deer at 1k go with a big 30 or 338 as in RUM or LAP. Additional recoil can be delt with a good brake. db [/ QUOTE ] I second that. I use a standard 300 WM for my max 500 m moose / deer hunting. There is...

    Browning, Savage, or Tikka?

    [ QUOTE ] Question: What is the general consensus on which is the best-made, best-quality gun: a Browning A-Bolt, a Savage Weather Warrior, or a Tikka T3 Lite? [/ QUOTE ] I don´t personally know about the others but: If you go Tikka route, go T3 Tactical they are very good rifles. Forget...

    Leupold Vx3- Can they dial up accurately ??

    [ QUOTE ] Will the Leupold be reliable for click adjustments if I have it fitted with target knobs ?? Any thoughts ?? [/ QUOTE ] I once bought a VX3 mildot from a member here. It has one factory installed target turret and I used it on a Sako TRG-S 338 LM for about 250 rounds. Then the...

    338 lapua load?

    I find it strange that there´s no 338 LM data in Vihtavuori online manual, I wanted to guide you there. I have only used N165 with my 338LM loads. You will probably get better advice but what I did now was a little powder change in "Quick Load" -program. I have previously used 250 Woodleighs...

    Scope -Dialing Up Elevation ?

    Long time, no post, cheers eveyone. [ QUOTE ] As for BDC's, I was always turned off by the fact you'd be locked into a single load under a single set of conditions. A new $50 knob every time you switch loads, go hunting at a different altitude, etc would get real old I thought. But...

    Back With A New Tikka T3 Tactical 300 WM

    [ QUOTE ] How much did you pay for it in finland? [/ QUOTE ] About twice the US price. Yeah, I know it makes no sense but that´s the way it is.

    Back With A New Tikka T3 Tactical 300 WM

    [ QUOTE ] hi, i was thinking of getting the same rifle with same caliber. I'm a bit worried about the plastic chunks comming off the bolt. think it could be a big problem? [/ QUOTE ] Hello. I got two plastic dust covers yesterday from Sako... they should not be breaking for ANY reason...
