Tikka 7RM speeds (180 hybrid)

[Deleted member 107666]

Trying to compare results with anyone else who's be shooting 180 hybrids from their 7RM tikka...

I'm seeing ~2690 from the factory barrel about 100 rnds down...not really speeding up. Any dradticly different results out there?

What barrel length? What powder?

Not a Tikka, but in my 26" 7RM w. several hundred rounds down the barrel, with a 180 Hyb, I get 2996fps with H1000. Or 3056 with a 184 Hyb and RL26.

It's a factory tikka bbl 24.5" ...also shorter coal to fit the tikka mag box...unknown own Munitions loaded it, no clue on charge weight

Unknown guessed around 2750 from their tikkas, seems on par, but also seems slow overall

I get about 2900 out of my 24" barrel. Savage action criterion barrel. 180 bergers and RL26

Tikka barrels are slow, but you should see a speed jump by 150-200 rounds, but it'll likely be about 30-60fps from new. At 100 rounds with a magnum cartridge, you should have gotten some that speed up by now.
