    New toy for me is a Tikka T3X in 6.5 x 55 SE, got this one suppressed with a DPT can, took the PST Viper off the Rum and put it on this rifle. Has 20 MOA rail and is in leupold rings all up weight 8 pound 10 oz. 20 inch Barrel. Loaded up several different loads to try using 143 gr ELD X bullets and AR 2213 SC , AR 2209. and Superformance powders.
    Velocity ranged between 2550 fps to 2275 fps. ( 46 grs of AR2213 SC resulted in an average of 2587 fps and 49 grs got to 2754 fps) 2209 at 44 grs averaged 2641 fps and Superformance at 45 grs only reached 2597 fps average.
    At all the different charge weights I tried I think I could go a little higher especially with 2209 and Superformance. The good thing that came out of it was all the different loads shot to pretty much the same point of impact at 100 yards.( see pictures) Overall very happy with the first time out, can't wait to see how she goes at longer ranges.Name:  Tikka T3X 6.5 x 55.JPG
