    Tikka T3 Thread

    Karl kampfield I just used a file to slightly open the feed lips on tikka 223rem mags. And it has feed flawlessly for 70rounds so far. Extraction has been great. I’m told in a chassis with AI 308 metal mags it works great too.

    Short barrel 22 arc velocity 12.5 to 14.5 inch

    Yea my $45 BCA barrel with a cheap poly lower will shoot 1.5” 5 shot groups with Handloads. I saw where a shop was using a 60 freebore reamer instead of the Sammi 131. They were saying the 60 shot all factory ammo much better. So I may go that route with my bolt gun for factory ammo. Although...

    Short barrel 22 arc velocity 12.5 to 14.5 inch

    You should be able to push a 60tmk at 2800 or more in the 12.5” This barrel has pretty much shot 4” 10 shot groups with everything I’ve tried at 100yds. Although that’s not great it’s been plenty accurate for shooting pigs out to 200yards. Receiver set is a 2a Palouse lite. The gun runs...

    My 18” does well out to 750 with 140bergers at 2600. You can shoot it further though.

    22arc versus 6 arc

    The helo pig hunts I’ve done they had special deflectors on the AR15s that forces the brass straight down. Cases either end up in the floor or on the ground.

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I have a Solus and was looking for the obsidian on a few sites and saw it was discontinued. Just thought it was strange since to me that was their best looking action.

    Anyone know why they discontinued the Obsidian models?

    Clickers

    If you’re not getting clickers with your normal loads at 2750-2800 then it’s most likely just the higher pressure loads causing it. It doesn’t always happen to every piece like in your current scenario. I would measure the bases before and after sizing. Then compare the base measurements to the...

    Clickers

    I have had clickers in a few cartridges from running stout loads. In my 300PRC Imp they didn’t start until the 5th firing. Sometimes it can be from a slightly oversized die. But if you’re not getting them with normal loads it’s probably from running stout loads. Once you run the brass that hot...
