Need A Load For .223 Tikka T3 Tactical 1in8 Twist.

[robbobsam]

Hiya Guys,

I am looking for an an accuracy load for my new Tikka T3 Tactical in .223.

I will be using it out to 600yds and will be using it on Varmints and targets.

I was thinking of using 69Grain SMK's but if you can suggest better bullets and loads I would be very pleased to hear them.

I am like all of you guys very much into getting the best accuracy out of my rifles.

Been thinking along the lines of AA2520 or H4895, not tried anything yet but I usually try to steer clear of Varget due to the "Alledged" increased barrel wear.

Thanks Guys.

My Load for SMK 69 hpbt is 26.2 gr of W748. ( Be sure to start 10% lower and work up to it) rem 7.5 sr(br) primers and Lake City brass. I shoot it out of a SP1 with a 20" krieger barrel and a good trigger and it will stay within 5" at 600 yds.I don't know how it would be on varmints.

If you have a 1/8 barrel, step up to the 75s and 80s. They are
