Tikka t3x 7mm magnum

[areyoujelen]

I have finally sold a gun and am looking to replace it with the Tikka t3x 7 mag. I am wanting to run the 175 ELD-X. Are there any Tikka shooters out there that can offer any info on the COAL. Will I be able to stretch it out any while still using the magazine, or will I be limited to factory ammo specs? I have seen where some guys are having issues with the 300 win, but I didn't know if there was any more lead way since the 7 mag is a touch shorter.

If you want a repeater, you will only be able to to have a COAL the mag will allow. If the mag is the same as a 300wm, you can expect max COAL to be about 3.350" +-0.05

I don't think the Tikka's 9.5 twist will stabilize the 175 eldx bullet..
