I couldn’t get my Tikka to shoot the 80 eldm’s no matter what I tried , the 77 TMK’s shot way better . I think there is a pattern emerging on this thread of Tikka’s not liking the 80 eldm’s , maybe...

600 yrds - Sporter weight .223 Rifle - 2-3 inch group .

Personally I wouldn’t be asking for advice, I’d be giving it .

Years ago , early 2000’s I had a GSP ( German Shorthaired Disapointer ) that would Yodel and Howl everyday at the same time .
It didn’t really annoy me , but it did make me curious.
Finally worked...

I’m about to load up some 6.5 CM with Hornady 129 SST projectiles and 2209 Powder .
Looking at the ADI website for the 2209 load data they recommend starting 35.2 and max 39.2 which seems like a...

There is no need for the extra Recoil and Blast of the 7mm Mag if your not shooting past 400-450 .
Short action for the 7mm 08 as opposed to the Long action for the Magnum , so a little bit lighter...

Just a bit of an update .

I chornographed the 6x45 the other day .

Maybe they are just reinventing the wheel ( with some subtle changes to barrel twist and projectile...

Didn't actually Reload anything , but did get 500 x 6mm Sierra 85gn hpbt off a guy to expand my projectile reserve for the new 6x45 .

I’m “Hearing Ya “ but 2009 was a lot different from 1999 which is what I was talking about .
I’m sadly old enough to know what shooting a sub 30 cal round was like way back then , both in...

I lent my .223 Lee ( Whackamole ) to a friend recently after showing him quickly how to use it .
Talked to him the other night and he has already loaded and shot over 200 rounds and asked if he...

You and your mates sure seem to have a thing for the 7mm Mag :thumbsup:
It’s a great Cartridge, but just has to much recoil oomph for my girly shoulder. You tempted by the 7PRC if it gets...

What projectiles and powder etc ?

We need a bit more info .
How many pieces and what was the OAL ?

There is a Thread on another Forum that I frequent that is " What Have You Loaded Today "
It is really quite interesting and well participated in .
So I thought it might be interesting to see what...

Only ever owned one Sako .
Couldn’t see the payback for the “ Sako “ tariff.
Tikka has gone the same way on a lesser scale.
Recoil pads are a “ hair puller” on many Rifles these days so I agree...
