[QUOTE="Land Rover, post: 1194652, member: 45043"] I'm keen on the 117gr Sierra Prohunters, they always seem to do the job. 58.5gr AR2217 (H1000) I get 3150-3200fps from my 25" heavy barrel. 1/2" accuracy. So I would like to stick with the Sierra Prohunters in my Tikka. I don't get muzzle flash with the 25" barrel. So if I have a 22" barrel and then add my suppressor which will add to the overall length, will that help with the muzzle flash issue. I will have to check how far forward my suppressor sits. In a way it will be extending the barrel length? It's hard to look at other powders when I get superb results with Ar2217. The main thing that bettered my accuracy was seating the bullets deeper. Just off the lands wasn't working for me. So I measured factory rounds which were over 1mm shorter in OAL. I seated the bullets .3mm deeper and bingo the groups pulled in. I am happy to try my other powders if a faster burning one is required. [/QUOTE]
