    Graphite bullet lube...

    Are you saying you sprayed the whole bullet or are you swabbing the case neck with the lube before seating the bullet?

    Rifle Scopes Looking for opinions On Steiner

    I have the Stenier P4Xi 4-16x56 and love it. It is the first expensive (for me) scope I've ever bought. The turrets have a nice smooth click and the glass is really clear.

    Bergara, Browning, or Tikka Recommendation?

    The Tikka magazines are now $72 so that is a lot closer to AICS magazine prices.

    6.5, 121 grain Flatlines

    I tried 5 or 6 different powders and the only one that would come close to MOA was Varget. I had to scrub the shit out of my barrel to get all the copper out before I got anything less than about 6" groups. I gave up on them after one box....just not worth it.

    10 shot load development

    I've done this using my magnetospeed chrono and was able to duplicate the results multiple times so for me it did work.

    Best AICS Magazines for Tikka T3x CTR

    I just recently dropped my Tikka CTR into a XLR carbon chassis. I only have one 5 round Accurate Mag and it is ok but not as nice as the factory mag was. I just received the MDT metal mag and already it seems much easier to load than the Accurate one. I hope to function test it next week.

    tips for loading Lapua 136gr Scenar-L (in 260 rem)?

    They haven't been jump sensitive in my Tikka 260. I've jumped them from 20 to 90 thousandths and all grouped fine. I settled on 30 thousandths off the lands. Does the place you got them at have any more for a good deal?

    10 Shot Ladder test validity.

    I tried it recently and was impressed. Once I found the node I was able to get consistent results with that load. Getting ready to use that method again with a new bullet I want to try out.

    New Tikka T3X CTR...non 1" moa

    Try a different ammo manufacture. Maybe your rifle doesn't like hornday bullets...lol I would grab a box of 130gr from Prime Ammo and probably a box of 139gr scenar ammo from Copper Creek.

    Range Report Help with 140gr hybrids

    My Tikka 260 will shoot pretty much any 139 - 142 bullet with 42.0gr H4350 with an coal of 2.800" under 1 MOA at 100 yards. At 2.860" coal, try around 42.5gr H4350.

    How many are rocking the APA Little Bastard Muzzle Brake?

    i have the APA little bastard on my Tikka 260 and really like it. Easy to install and remove if you want. Definitely helped with recoil and follow up shots.

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Europtic Steiner 4-16 SCR Scope

    Got a chance to sight in the scope this morning...very simple. Chrono'd some loads and smacked a few steel plates at 500 yards. Started on a tracking test when a storm came up and ruined my target and ended my shooting for the day. I'll have to get the tracking test done another day...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Here are a couple of pics of my .260 Tikka CTR. I have only had the new chassis a couple of months but love it and the new scope and mount arrived yesterday. I hope to make it to the range monday. old setup: factory stock Leupold Mark AR mod 1 6-18x40 new setup: XLR carbon chassis w/15"...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Europtic Steiner 4-16 SCR Scope

    Got the scope and mount in yesterday. This is the nicest scope I've ever owned. Freakin' solid and the turrets are tight. I like the how the second rev indicator turns green so you easily know where you're at. The glass looks amazingly crisp and clear but you're talking about a guy who's...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Europtic Steiner 4-16 SCR Scope

    Ordered one of these scopes yesterday along with the RRS uni-block 20MOA mount. That should round out my Tikka build.

    140 RDF's

    I started getting better groups with the 140 RDFs when I started jumping them at least 80+ thousandths. This is with a Tikka CTR in .260. I was using the same brass and powder as you but 210M primers.

    I've run the lapua 123 scenars with he following load in my 20" .260 CTR. Just over 2800 fps and pretty darn accurate. brass: lapua primer: 210M powder: 44.0gr H4350 coal: 2.865"

    Tikka CTR 24" results?

    In my 20" Tikka CTR 260 i can get both the Lapua 139gr and Berger 140gr Hybrid to 2700 fps with the following loads. The velocity of these loads goes a little up and down with the change in seasons and powder lot numbers. bullet: lapua 139gr scenar brass: lapua primer: 210M powder: 43.5gr...

    Tikka CTR 24" results?

    I have a 20" Tikka CTR with nearly 3k rounds on my barrel and accuracy/speed hasn't degraded yet. Nearly all factory ammo I've tried has been good and it really is hard to find a bad handload. - every 260 load I've tried from Copper Creek ammo had an inch or less groups at 100 yards - FGMM...
