Thread: COAL 7mm08 Tikka 150gr ELDx

Hey team,

a good friend of mine has given me a rifle to work up a load for a very nice Tikka 7mm08 with a very nice Loopy scope, he's spent a fair bit of his available funds for a long time, im going to reload for him a stack of ammo to get him out bush shooting and on the range.

So measured up OAL with my handy dandy Hornady AOL gauge, checked it a few times, wrote down my results, put it beside a factory load and though, hmmmmmm, went back check and re check, yep pretty much the same OAL, looked online and i must be doing something wrong or this rifle has a long throat?

is this the norm for these rifle?

the good thing is he bought an after market mag from Australia i think that potentially was to address this particular opportunity

cheers
