[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1824228, member: 11132"] IIRC the Tikka T3 7-08 run a 9.5 twist barrel. That will exclude the higher bc long bullets. Not sure if this is for paper or hunting. I would look at the Berger and Sierra Match Kings in the 168 gr. They usually only need faster than 10tw. For the hammer hunters you would need to stick to the 131gr HH. You might be ok with the 143 depending on elevation. Watch rl17 as temps go from cool to warm. The vel pressure can jump enough to push you out of a node and over pressure as well. 4350, vv n550, varget are popular. Lapua brass 210m or br2 primers. If your after accuracy over vel there are some good powders out there. I always turned necks so I necked down sized 308 lapua match brass. Wanted to try palma brass but I gave the gun away to a good friend. [/QUOTE]
