[QUOTE="imyourhuckleberry, post: 2019731, member: 18206"] Your tikka has the same twist as my 30-06. The 1-11 twist will stabilize heavier bullets but it will not shoot them as accurately as you would like. Try lighter bullets my 06 did not like 180 grainers or 150 grainers. It loved the factory 165 and 168 grainers. Shoots sub moa at 200 yards. Since you don't reload I shot the best groups using the Winchester Silver tip. The 165 or 168 grainers are more than adequate for elk. I used to have a contact point where the barrel would touch the forearm when it got hot. I sanded it away until it would not touch. Run a dollar bill make sure barrel is free floated. After 3 shots run it again if barrel makes contact with the forearm it will get stuck. That is where I would start sanding until the barrel floats. Repeat as necessary down the channel of the stock. [/QUOTE]
