Work up for my load. Like I said the 175 ELDX shot wonderful out of it.(factory)All under 1/2 MOA. 162's no different.( quite a few .02’s-to 0.4’s)Just opted for a little more speed. Funny thing is,the 175eldx @ 100ftps slower catches the 162eldx at around 6 to 7 hundred yr. Can’t remember exactly
I ended up with 28 77 ft./s with the 162 grain. 175 was showing ejector marks at 2770 ft./s. we opted for the 162s and 100 ft./s gain. This is out of a 20 inch benchmark.
I believe tikka will be producing a 7 mm PRC very soon. It just seems like the logical move for them and a lot of people that I perceive as being in the know believe that as well. The rifle I had built is using their action. I was close to pulling the trigger on the defiance action. Many say...
20 inch barrel.(2877 ft./s Good velocity. Little bit more than your quoted price, but they probably can build something maybe less expensive. They are tack drivers though
