[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1504314, member: 75933"] hate to be that guy, but are you experienced in shooting a hard recoiling light rifle? I have had the exact rifle you're shooting, and it's not for the weak of heart. If you're running near top loads with the 225+ bullets, that rifle can have very sharp recoil. I found the best luck with changing out the recoil pad with a limbsaver and running a stiff laod of 7828ssc and a 250gr hornady spire point. May not be some big fancy bullet, but that sucker smoked a couple brown bears and caribou. Also, when you're at mag length, is that jamming or do you still have a jump. My load was right into the lands at just short of mag length. All my tikka rifles have shot very well, so worst case, send it back. [/QUOTE]
