Tikka 6.5 Creedmoore Question

[wyocaddis]

If I change the bolt stop and magazine to a 270 length or long, will it still feed? ie longer seated bullets. Has anyone done this change?

 

[Guglielmo]

Yep, I ran it long for 153.5 long loads, fed fine.

 

[wyocaddis]

did you run lighter bullets as well with a shorter OAL? 127 LRX for hunting or simalar?

 

[Guglielmo]

It will feed fine with factory mags and AICS mags. I never tried a CTR mag or bottom metal but all tikkas are long action, spacers and bolt stop are all that change from SA to LA in a factory bottom metal.

 

[Ckleeves]

Tikka’s are pretty forgiving on feeding with factory mags but if for some reason it doesn’t feed well with the longer mag and shorter 127’s just keep the M+ magazine with the spacer to feed them.
