[QUOTE="rjferber, post: 1595968, member: 36326"] [B]Colorado Luckydog[/B] - I had a Tikka T3X CTR 20" heavy barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor and it seemed to like any ammo I feed it. This was acquired as a target setup and it produced sub-MOA @ 100 & 200 yards with all of the following ammo types. I never got the chance to stretch the range out to 600 yards as planned. I picked up a box of the American Gunner for sight-in work but was rather impressed as to how it performed alongside all the others. ELD® Match[B] [/B] ELD 120 grain 2,910 Hornady Gold Metal Berger OTM 130 grain 2,875 Federal Premium American Gunner HPBT 140 grain 2,690 Hornady ELD® Match[B] [/B] ELD 147 grain 2,695 Hornady As others have already stated your barrel may produce different results. I actually traded that Tikka on a Bergara B14 Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor as I prefer wood to black synthetic stocks and felt it was a better fit for me in hunting requirements. I have questioned my actions from time to time and I have yet to make it to my outdoor range and run B14 through its paces to see if it performs as well as the Tikka. I added the following ammo to the mix as this is what I would probably use as a hunting round, but fully expect similar sub-MOA results with the Bergara barrel . . . Time will tell. Precision Hunter ELD-X 143 grain 2,700 Hornady I fully expect your Tikka & Hornady ELD ammo to work very well together. [/QUOTE]
