I have read good reviews about this rifle on this website, including the addition of the CDI or the RCS detachable box magazine, one thing I didn't find was. What kind of velocity do you get shooting the heavy bullets like the 75 a-max with the rifles factory 20 inch barrel with the 1 in 8 twist?

Re: Tikka T3 .223 Tactical Anybody???
I don't have my data book in front of me, but i was getting around 2900 FPS with 25gr of Rel 15 and a Sierra Match King 69gr bullet.
If you need more exact, I can dig it up. I have 77 and 80gr data also for Rel 15, but the 80s cannot be seated to magazine length and have to be single feed, so I don't have a complete workup on those.
I liked my T3 .223, but it never was much better than 1 moa out of the box. It currently is being placed in a Manners stock with the CDI bottom metal and getting a new broughton barrel and I am assured that it will group much tighter when the smith is done (APA is doing the work, so I don't doubt it).
