260 T3 Sporter at 1010m

[ChrisNZ]

Sharing my 5.4" five shot group at 1011m from this weekend.
Range has a bank of 1m square plates with 30cm round suspended in the middle. Using a factory standard Tikka T3 Sporter in 260. Lapua 136gr at 2750fps from 24" factory barrel. Steiner 5-25 Military in Spuhr mount. Ase S7 338 suppressor (it serves double duty on my TRG 42)
Terrapin to verify range and Applied Ballistics in Kestrel 4500NV for calculations. OnTarget was used to calculate spread.
Most pleased with my factory stock rifle. Has just under 1400 rounds through the barrel and going strong!

very impressive for a factory rifle!i don't even know tikka made factory 260,now on my wish list!

how does your s7 .338 work with your 6.5?
i currently use a .30 sl5 on my 260 and i find it very noisy(much more than my sl7 .30 on my 7-08 rem.)
i ordered a jet z compact .25 and wish it will work better!

The S7 is quite a bit bulkier than the Jet Z compact. I recently purchased a 30 cal Jet Z compact but haven't swapped over as I need to make a cover for it. Since I'm going back to
139gr scenars, figured I'll rezero for smaller can then.
Check out the links below. Hopefully it'll give you an idea of the suppression of the S7 on the 260. I'll be doing the 2014 Woodstock in Rotorua on 25th May and will be using the compact. Hopefully be able to post a link to that one too.

I have used a SL5 .25 on a 6.5x55 and it worked pretty well. A calibre specific jet-Z Compact is going to suppress better than a SL5 .30. (A jet-Z compact .30 might even suppress better than a SL5 .25)

With the .30 calibre jet-Z COMPACT, your suppression on a 6.5mm calibre is c. 27-28 dB and with the .25 jet-Z COMPACT it is c. 31-32 dB ( examples from 6.5x55 SE )
