Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles T3 243 Range Report

Warning: This is another report on the boringly accurate nature of the Tikka T3 rifle. Paper and steel pictures with small groups will follow.

Bullet #1: 87 VMax. 600 Yard Gong.

Two Groups on steel. Group #1 is at the 2 o'clock position. Yes, thats two of the three almost on top of each other. When Group #2 at the 3 o'clock position only rang home two out of three, I knew it was time to adjust for wind.



Adjusted for wind and shot again. 600 Yard Gong.



Bullet #2: 95 BTip. 100 Yard Paper.



Load development for both consisted of choosing a book recipe, using virgin Winchester Brass, Fed 210 primers, and COAL's that I collected from posters here. If fit in the mag and chambered with ease, I went with it. The 87's went 2.71 and the 95s went 2.75.

I think Tikka's marketing slogan should be: "T3 - We make reloading really, really boring."
