Thread: Tikka 284 or 280ai

Hi fellas,

Got a little dilemma. I'm planning a custom build to go full carbon based off a tikka t3 action. Those of you that know t3's know that you struggle to seat out projectiles with the magazine the way it is.
So I can go .284 which is a good calibre I have no issue with it but I really like 280 AI for ability to be able to get some more speed. 284 is a short action which means I can use it in a long action magazine in the tikka and have room but the 280 is limited. So atm 284 is the pick of the bunch.

My question for all you knowledgable people is what brand of actions can you get more length out of the projectiles n still fit in the action n magazine?

Hopefully I haven't confused you guys n hopefully someone has some info on it,

Cheers in advance!
