Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Most accurate cartridge in a Tikka

Because of an insane amount of support from the ammo makers

For all the bad press we heap on the Creedmoor it has a lot going for it; second only to 308 for readilly availble hunting ammo, low recoil, high BC bullets are the norm. It Fits a short action magazine, kills above its expectations and is very easy to find good loads, both handloads and factory.

Not sure why you’d buy a tikka in a Kreed when the Swede is available. Hint

The CM will be more accurate and ammo is much cheaper and available. Big Swede fan but he said "accurate"

Swede shooter, and I'm one, needs to be a reloader.

Creed, not so much.

I have one of those, too. You gotta really be on your game to reload better ammo than factory. Maybe a challenge to load some just as good.

It's easy to load more accurate ammo than factory. But for factory ammo, the creed definitely has the swede beat. Hint..

I have a Superlite in .300 Win Mag that is a dandy shooter, if I can convince myself that my face won’t actually fall off if I shoot it 5 times in a row. 3 shot groups are doable, but painful, 5 shot groups are…. fatiguing to say the least. The cool part is, every time I shoot it my ancestors get to shoot with me because they feel it too.





My daughter has a LH Superlite in .308 Win and it is a true sub MOA rifle. We’ve only shot 110 and 125 gr bullets in it so far but these are the first two groups she shot with it..





A 125 gr Accubond at 3000 FPS has proved to be an excellent field load for her.





My wife (we) has a blued lite in .270 Win and it will shoot a house on fire as well..





Moral of the story, Tikkas are awesome!

Any cartridge can be accurate in any rifle including Tikka's IF you tailor the bullets and powder to the rifle. That's what handloading gives vs shooting factory rounds.
