I need a gunsmith or advice on repairing a damaged/Destroyed Tikka extractor.

A friend of mine wrote the wrong load data down for his accuracy load when he sold me the rifle. This is a .223 Rem Tikka, he wrote down 27.5gr of H335. I fired some of his loads that came with the rifle and they shot half MOA easy. First load I fired that I had loaded to his load data blew the primer and destroyed the extractor. I pulled one of his bullets from his loaded ammo and the charge was 23.5 gr of H335.

Got it! Went back to the gun club found the missing part and put it back together. None of the parts were broke. It just came apart.

Your lucky you found the missing plunger, glad you got it up and running, what weight bullet were you useing

A friend wanted to sell his coyote calling rifle. I wasn't really in need of the rifle but he made me a package deal I couldn't pass up. Tikka T3 light cut to 16" , Leupold 3-9 with the hold over dots set for his load out to 400 yards. His load is 23.4gr of H335 and a 69gr Nosler Custom Competition bullet. The rifle is ugly as sin but it SHOOTS.

Fired a five shot group at 100 it went under half inch. Fired a 3 shot group at 200 (.751) and a 3 shot group at 300 (1.341)..

500 69gr Noslers were included with the deal.

27 grs of h335 with a 69gr bullet sure would make your rifle bark

Indeed!!!

Weak link in the bolt head is the extractor, seen guys get hit with Sako extractors for hot loads. Glad you got her up and running. How did you find the plunger, on your hands and knees with a magnify glass. Like a needle in the haystack

Exactly! Went back to the range with a bright LED light and looked around until I found it. Took awhile.
