Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tikka 22-250 8" twist pre-order...

Tightened action screws and shot the LH 22-250, Tikka again best loads , so far are. 4 shots 100 yards.

WW case , CCI 200 primer, 75 GR Horn A Max, 37.5 GR RL 17 ,4 @ .77". Last time I chrono,ed load 3292 FPS

WW case , CCI 200 primer, 75 GR Horn A Max , 36.5 GR H 4350, 4 @ .86"


What is the purpose of the stock screw between front action screw and front sling swivel? Is it to adjust barrel
tension? Measured my twist and its around 1-8.

Looking great. Any chance of checking velocity with these?

Six 1.5+" 3-shot trifectas with PRVI 55 gr SP.

Have not found great accuracy with most 55 gr loads in several 22-250,s.

Was hoping to luck out at $12/box! Minute of dink for a ways though. Lol

Have the goods to duplicate your loads above, eventually. Keep the reports coming.

I've had same luck with Rem 55 CLs. Think we got some 50 gr VMax in larder somewhere. But if I zap one at woods range it'll work fine.

Ain't had time to load any 62 grain TTSX yet...

I finally got around to putting a scope and sighting this thing in. Only got it end of July so it took an honest 3.5 months to get around to it.

Anyways I put a Bushnell 3-12 LRHS on it and 2 shots to get it sighted in and then stacked the remaining 8 rounds in the magazine into less than 3/4" with crappy UMC ammo. Looking forward to loading up some 75 ELDs and seeing if it likes them.

So far so good. What a hoot to shoot for sure:

It works! 55 SP PRVI into the lungs. The carnage ended at the off side hide. 165 yards. It's a full size rifle, not deer. LOL

Definitely a vealer.

Tasty, alfalfa fed. Kid and I ate the heart that night, tenderloins the next day and liver the next. Have fired it 21 times now and super happy with it.

Picked up two boxes of Federal Premium 60 grain Nosler Partition. They shot 1.5 MOA at 100 yards, good enough for deer.

Average velocity 3419 fps.

Where's all the dead critters from these little rifles Men?

I wanted to see some 62 gr TTSX exit wounds, and am thinking about buying myself one for Christmas.

You heard gunner...let's see em!!

I have one but have not worked up a load with it yet, played with the 62TTSX a little and it's showing promise but not fooled with it enough.

I just can't put down my 6.5 Creedmoor and the fact that my shot house is facing a 600yd field. Maybe when I get a great load worked up for it I'll take it for shorter shots.

That's right Coach, I've been wondering about the best rings for this rifle, plus, I found an extra matte 3.5-10 and have known about a matte 4.5-14 Leupold spare scope for this gun, wonderd which one of those might be best, for the size of game, and range I'd BG hunt with a 22-250, bet the 3.5-10 would be plenty.

I don’t know how to post pictures or I would post my first kill

I'm in the same boat Brian, no pics for proof here, but I do enjoy studying them.

I have a fixed 10X SWFA. on mine in Talley Lightweights.

Darrik has someone making the modified Talley's for the Tikka might want check them out at Whittakers.

Thanks for the tip Coach.

Ok real world results 62 gr TTSX 50 yd shot bang flop this morning
