Tikka T3 superlite 308 Loads

[Wrcassell21]

Just acquired a tikka t3 superlite in 308win. Is anyone shooting this rifle or have load data that might get me close for the tikka T3 lites?

44-45 grains of varget, 210m primer and a 165 sst for me. 168 amax shoot a tad lower, but still awesome accuracy

What overall length are you running in the tikka?

side note: i just fondled one of these in the Chattanooga Cabelas yesterday, on sale for $799. After much waffling I walked out without it, but admit I have second guessed that decision ever since.

If not running a mono bullet, I'm running everything at magazine length.

I helped a friend with this rifle last September. He bought it for his girlfriend to use on her first deer hunt. She was successful and got her first coues wt in early December.

The bolt stop can be altered (see video below) and a 30-06 mag box can then be used to get the bullet closer to the lands. Also discovered the video on adjusting the trigger.

Here is what we came up with for the load:

Virgin nosler brass
fed 210 primer
150 gr Nosler ballistic tip
Seated bullets out .005" from lands
Current load 46 gr H4895 for 2900 fps

Thanks for the info, did 150s shoot better than 168s or tried?
