yep i keep speaking to people about there tikka's & not one person's shoots 1moa there all under that @ 100 meters . i didn't even know there's that many people that can shoot that good . well guy's for out of the box accuracy that is awesome & most of these are new rifles & will probably shoot better once run in . it's this word of mouth that impresses me , the only bad thing i hear is some people don't like the stock , I've held them & it seems OK to me after all i ain't know oil painting anyway :mrgreen: .

hey ladies ,
new here, just bought a new laminated stock T3 25-06 and on my first trip out i was more than impressed with it . was using 3 types of factory ammo, but have decided that the 85gn federals were the better of them . got a couple of bunnies and a few foxes over good distances (180m+) and are going to start reloading ............ so has any one got some hints as to where to start with projectiles / loads for basic varmint work

tanks roo.

I dont shoot 100's very often what I do use is :

Varmits
Hornady 75grn V Max and 57 grns AR2209

General hunting (up to but not including deer)
Sierra 90grn HP and 56grns AR2213SC

Deer
Nosler 120 grn Solid base(no longer available) and 51 grn AR2213SC

If I was using 100grn pills I prefer the Speer Hot core SP's and would run about 54grns 2213SC (start at 51 and work up)

Hope this is helpful
