Im in the process of getting all the pieces gathered up for a 6.5-06 build. But then I go out to sight in my 25-06 tikka that shoots 3 100 grain Ballistic tips into 1 hole and wonder why didnt I just buy a Tikka in 6.5x55 and order a good stock for it?
My load work up for this 25-06 Tikka is as follows. Pick a bullet, Pick a appropriate powder, RL22 RL17 Imr4350 H4350 It dont matter. Load appropriate amount of powder behind chosen bullet. Set OAL to whatever the manual says for that bullet. Load magazine with said load and proceed to shoot a 3 shot group under 1".
I ran 117 hdys 117 sierras 100 hdys 100 sierras 100 BT's 100 partions 90 sierra bthp thru this gun and any of the above mentioned powders and it always puts em under and inch.
It just really like the Ballistic tips and RL17. I have seen the same with friends .243's
It is getting harder and harder not to like this gun.
