    Got my T3 with 55g hornady sp working quite well. Head shot a hind last week at 100mtr. Very satisfying on your own loads. Got some 73g eld m loaded to test groupings, struggling with OAL. The T3 seems to have a short throat so can only load them at 2.42in. Have a waterman Rifle magazine coming to allow me to use the longer bullets. Have a test sample of 69gr target so will see how they go. Is the maker of these a forum member?

    If you’re talking about Targex, then yes, Bryn is on the forum.
    He nui to ngaromanga, he iti to putanga.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Yeah, the Tikka mag max's out at 2.3" OAL. A Waterman will fix that. Targex make an 80 grain too.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
