[QUOTE="pods8, post: 988154, member: 83233"] Figured I'd come back and share what worked out for my 145gr LRX load: This is a Tikka T3 SS, I can fit a max COAL of 2.82 which on my gun with this bullet is .12x" off the lands (I forgot the last number off memory). I also tested at .07" and .09" off after settling on a powder charge to see if it was worth getting a long action magazine and modifying my bolt stop. Luckily the 2.82" load actually grouped the best so I can happily run stock. I'm running a 3.5-10x42 sightron bigsky which was on 10x for this group off a solid bench with caldwell bags. So 2.82" COAL 145gr LRX, FC brass, WLRM primer, 39.8gr varget. ~2700fps average [IMG]http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee329/pods8/BF4534EF-6C2F-44FB-A70E-4E1F0C25CF76_zpsmlzorvlb.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
