[QUOTE="santee116, post: 1357229, member: 15950"] I have the same rifle, Tikka T3 lite. I worked up a decent load with the 95 VLD's and H4350 (measured with magnetospeed) 40.5 grains = 2849 fps 42.5 grains = 2998 fps Accuracy node was around 41 grains at 2890 fps, shoots sub moa, but not super accurate. I also worked up a great load with Varget and the 87 grain Vmax: 38 grains = 3082 fps 40 grains = 3245 fps Accuracy node was around 39.5 grains at 3215 fps Shoots them great, sub .5 moa If you have some Varget, may want to give it a whirl with the 87 VLDs. It also shoots the 100 grain Sierra Pro Hunters great with H4350, but that is a flat based bullet and not too long, so it stabilizes them fine. I tried some 105 amax's that I had laying around just for the hell of it and it was throwing them all over the place. As always, back off and work up, hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
