I tried the Sharpie method today only to discover that the limiting factor is magazine length. The best I can do is 3.340".
Is this common with the Tikkas?

shoot a book load at mag COL and I'll bet you'll be surprised..
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Mag length is the limiting factor in my 300 win mag. I choose to use as a single shot and seat bullet 0.01" off lands. Groups well under MOA so I'm happy. Have yet to try accuracy load with bullet seated to mag length.

I shoot 58gr of Hunter under 180gr Deep Shocks with Federal brass and Federal large rifle mag primers for sub moa groups from 3 different .30-06s I use. By the way, seated to the cannalure. Damn good load.

I was shooting 180 Horn interlocks into 1/2-3/4 groups from a T with a good dose of 4350. Plain simple load that shot lights out!

Tikkas Shoot ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE with any bullet jump. Just look at what mine does at 300 yds with a .240" jump mandated by clip length. OH....the misery!!!! ![[Linked Image]](http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv88/kraky11/DSC00663.jpg)
