Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tikka T 3 300 win mag load suggestions

Have a moose and bear hunt scheduled and a Montana deer in Nov. Just started hand loading.

Can you suggest some load work-ups for moose/bear and maybe some for 400-500 yd deer for those that shoot Tikka's.

I have noticed my other Tikka's really like the Hornady super performance ammo.

Would like to replicate with partitions

200PT and IMR4831.

Thanks boxer

Here's the load I use with my Tikka T3 Lite 300WM and it is absolutely lights out at all ranges:

Winchester brass, Federal 215 primers, 200 AB's, and 65 grains of IMR5350. I use book OAL. This round kicks ass!

Of course, start low and work up.

I also shoot a 200gr NAB. 2900 fps from my Super Light, and plan to use it for everything (have a mule deer tag next month). R-P brass, 215, Ramshot Magnum, 3.35" COAL. Burns very clean, very cool, and groups under 1" at 100 yards. Run the ballistics on the 200gr NAB @2800-2900fps... its got a lot of steam left at 400 & 500 yards.

Thanks guys for the info. WIll start loading and post range results

RL-22 with 180gr Accubonds is my load for my Sako m75ss 300WM. 74.0gr with 215 Federal primers gives me well under under 0.5" groups at 100m. This rifle was a shooter before even with factory loads.

I'm sighted in @ 3.5" high at 100m puts my zero @ close to 300-325m if I remember correctly.

IMO, the 180gr bullet is the bullet for the 300WM / 300WSM. Accubonds or TTSX's get my vote.

I load 75.5grs RL22 and 180 Hornady SPs, hard to beat that combo.

168TTSX on top of 78g H4831sc....a laser guided missle

Thanks guys for the help

168TTSX over 7828 or R22 works like a champ in my t3 300WM.

220gr hornady interlock, IMR7828ssc.

74.gr of RL22 with 180gr Accubonds and Federal 215 primers are my loads in my Sako m75ss 300WM.
