Thread: 75gr Amax 223, Ladder test question

@Beetroot we are using 2206h with the 75 amax's and they are mag fit length. Didn't bother measuring oal as it shot well enough.
The rifle is a tikka t3 hunter abs is a mates. I have just bought a t3 223 last week and will be trying the same thing. Although as I will have it all the time I will try adjusting seating depth and change of powder. From memory the case was full with a slight crush after using a drop tube.

My rifle is a Tikka also, wasn't going to try go for best accuracy and open up the magazine if I have too.
Any idea of what velocity you are getting?

The Tikka is only a Lite Stainless, but it seems to shoot very good, hopefully with a heavy projectile loaded it can be a light weight varmint/tactical/long range hunting/rabbit blasting/ goat destroyer, what ever you want to call it.
Have killed well with it out to 200yards, but would like to be able to take it out to 500/600yards and know it will perform.
