    Why Replace a Factory Bolt Shroud?

    Tikka T3X A1 Trigger adjustment

    I'm finding it very challenging to adjust the trigger pull on my new Tikka..... Are you supposed to be able to see the screw opening with which the allen wrench is supposed to engage? It's a damn tight space for old, arthritic hands. :confused: Any tips or suggestions will be appreciated. George

    .260 Rem & Sierra 85gr Bullets

    I'm working up loads for my .260 Rem, using the Sierra 85gr bullet....for coyotes in particular. I've tried Varget and wasn't too impressed. The Sierra data doesn't include some of the powders I'd like to try, e.g. what I have on hand in good quantity. Hodgdon's online site only goes down to...
