Well that was boring, like most load development for Tikkas ;-) Gotta love that.

Awesome I would have cut it shorter but time didn't allow as we are off to the kaweka for a week soon so I would have been cutting it fine.

Surely you need to stuff around with seating, or try some different powder or primers. Might tighten up that group!!!

You didn't get much trigger time with that one, bloody nice shooter though.

Yeah I think another.1 of powder might just do it.
The new Delta 4x24 makes shooting so easy.

25/08 IMP,
Have you got it set up with the long magazine and bolt stop or factory medium length? just wondering if the COAL is similar to that of your finn / carbon light?

COAL in the Tikka with long mag and bolt stop is 2.941 I can't remember the mag length of the sako the measurement I have written down seems too long so it must be to Ojive.
The Tikka med magazine is shorter than the sako med action.
I hope that helps, the sako was jumping 50 thou

Thanks great thankyou. I’ve got an old 75 finnlight and some RL26 to try in the .270Win. I use RL19 in the .260 which is very accurate but slower by quite a bit. Will give the 26 a run in the .260R this summer.
