    Thats interesting. My 16" tikka was sending 178 eldx damn near sideways through the paper at 100m. Was fine with 150gr corelokt & shoots 130gr ttsx brilliantly now.

    I was just using factory precision hunter rounds, not handloads. So saami coal also. Not sure why it shot them so terribly but had no issues with lighter bullets.
