Hey guys, we are keen to give some of shooternz cast 151 gr hollow points a go in our Tikka T3x 308 and just wondered if anyone had any experience with them feeding ok from the magazine ?
Cheers

No issues in my 308win but in the 300 blackout I can only single feed on top of empty magazine.
Thanks @tikka shortest thread ever !
worst case senario...you have one up the spout having been single fed and something else in magazine..... they are great projectiles....
They feed great in my 308 t3x. No issues
I’m running the 151gr cast at 2.545” OAL in my rifle.
I just load them to the crimp ring and then crimp them.
Learning the art of crimping on straight wall cases. Next twirling them and admiring your hand work. Now that was esay eh. LOL.[ Got both the Redding and Lee crimp dies but have only used the Lee].Got some of Robert's 151 which I will now load after having learnt this strange art. I looked at so many posts about 44mag and know what ,they were all bloody helpful.As they say there are some talented b'stards on this Forum.
same with me I crimp on the crimp ring
I did take my mag box out and smooth off all the sharp bits that the case would hang up on, them not getting a bit upset as the bullet to case step rode over it seemed to get rid of a lot of the sideways jammers
Thanks @Bill999 was that also on a Tikka ?
Didn’t feed well in my A7,went to the pointed 170g cast problem solved but not slot of expansion,those 151g open up real well when I single fed them.
