Hey John, have you tried the 175 LRX in your 300WSM? I bought some for my new Tikka, but they are not grouping like I wish they would!!!
About like you said, 5 shots into an inch. I keep thinking this Tikka should shoot better...

By the way, I loaded up some 165gr TSX in my buddies 300WSM extreme weather and that damn thing loves them. 5 shots into a 1/2 inch!!!!!


Lawrence,

When I had a tikka in a 300 wsm, it loved RL19, 168 tsx or ttsx didn't matter. I never messed with the 175. Yeah this 300 wsm I have is g prefix stainless classic. Back to the tikka I was playing with 180's and h4350 when I had that Ttikka and the great h4350 shortage hit us. So I ended using H4831 for 180's and 190's. The RL19 load I lucked out on that one and you actually could find rl19 back then along with imr 4350 lol... I noticed in Barnes manual said imr 4350 was the most accurate powder to use with 180's. So I might try some of that with that etip and tsx.


Good luck with it buddy.
