Tikka T3 308: Favorite Ammo

[RMorris]

I took mine to the range this week. After I had commented above, I decided to try a few other loads that I had laying around. I cannot find the 168 Amax in stock anywhere nearby. I did find 168 ELD match, and shot just as well. I also tried some 168 federal gold medal match, and it was not as impressive. Interestingly, it shoots great out of a Remington 700 that I have, also one in 11 twist.
Long story short, this seems to be a Hornady rifle for me.

You haven't told us what's kind of T3 it is or if it's all standard, factory synthetic stock or wood, barrel profile or if your using factory ammo etc so it's hard to comment!!

More info needed

1-11 twist factory ammo. Try these. Shoot well in my 1-11.25" 30-06 (Handloads). They also have 168.

factory T3x varmint stock. Just added a paint job and an adjustable cheek piece. The smith just added a device to the existing stock.
