Factory/Factory 223 Accuracy Challenge

I can get a box of 73 sent to you, it's free to the first Tikka guy who wants it, as long as they use it in the challenge and provide results (good or bad)

I definitely need the ammo for the challenge as there is none locally.

Good oh, I have it coming. Will get in touch in due course.

I’ve got 1-8 twist Sako 85 223 and will be up for the challenge, i haven’t seen any eld match ammo and the local big green store though.

There's one for you too Gundoc

I'll take you up on a box if the offer hasn't been taken. Tikka T3x 16" 1:8 twist.

And one for 300shortmag . . . Now we're getting somewhere!

Very nice shooting. Shows the ammo is "up to the mark" if a Howa will shoot it like that, the Howa's here didn't quite make that level of precision with my 73gn handloads.

Last "free" box is reserved for a browning x-bolt if one shows up.

I’ve got a couple of good shooting (69 hpbt and 77 tmk) 8 twist T3s here. I’ll buy a box or two of 73’s and see how they go.

Haven’t bought cf ammo for years, ouch at $64 at box!

Holy Crap I see it retailing 69-75 now thats madness. Must've got the last of the shelf. Glad I dont buy factory.

Thanks. I must have got lucky with the rifle, as it shoots Sako 55gr ammo almost as good. I should add, it has a timney trigger too. Barrel and stock (not bedded) are factory.

Good oh. That's two Tikka's, a Sako and a Browning sorted. The ammo is ordered but I need a #43 for it so it'll be a few days for that, then I'll gather up you guys details to get it to you. Probly will take the thick end of a fortnight.

Cheers all.

Agreed, this would be an interesting challenge
