Possibly…… whatever it’s doing tho, Given the precision of the other 3 hand loads I’ve tried in this rifle, leads me to believe this one isn’t worth messing with any further

The only reason I've persevered with them is the scenario modeling I've done in GRT shows the 75s are a sweet spot for extracting maximum energy from the 223 case . . . With LVR and 75s you can get over 1400 fpe from 20", 1300 fpe is about the limit with anything else as far as I can see.Quote:

Fairly sure tikkas do well with both with a throat modification i recall a few people getting new ones done and they shot brilliant my one was rechambered to 22-204 and shot the 80s amazingly “couldn’t miss” sort of rifle on very small gongs out to 500 yards
The thoat modification I use is, I will revisit the 75s in another couple of thousand rounds.
There you goQuote:
