Thread: Ya cant beat a Tikka and Federal blue box

Yep blue box is great with my tikka 308, getting scarce as hens teeth.... Anybody use a different flavour of factory ammo with similar results? Thanks

Try Hornady Whitetail. I've substituted that in .270win in a Tikka and had same accuracy and POI.

Just as a note - .308 Hornady whitetail is pretty scarce at the moment too it seems. I picked some up at HnF in Albany a week or so ago when I was up there - they had stacks. I'm beginning hand loading for the .308 but good to have stock of the factory ammo I've been using. I have found the projectiles to be a bit hard compared to federal and Sierra Gamekings however.
