Tikka Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I've been mentoring a young lad who has a Tikka T3 Hunter in .223 calibre. He's about to start reloading so I'm going to help him out for a while. I've never owned a .223 so would appreciate some help and advice on varminting loads that have worked well for you lads. All help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 It's whatever the individual rifle gets on with. Mrs Dave's Remy 700 shoots same hole groups at 100 yds using 22gn Viht N133 and a 55gn V-Max and remington small rifle primers. This has a chopped down barrel to 16". Oh. And Mrs Dave is Spartacus (who's gonna argue with a PCSO with a rifle and PMT?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
