Finally found some of these bullets in Stock. Preliminary trials look promising for groups (3/4' except for a flyer at 1") with a moderate load of 4064. Any loads that involved powder compression did not group well. Anyone else try these and what powder Seemed best. By the way my Tikka is 8 twist. Thanks

RL-15 works for me, albeit .223AI @3250fps!

Sooner or later our heritage of hunting is going to be a rich mans sport and the words "Outfitter" and "Hunt Industry" will be synonymous with cancer and A.I.D.S. among blue collar hunters like me and my family! (A.L. Williams - 2010)

TAC, H335 and Varget have all done well for me, same bullet, same rig.. 2.250" coal..
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I use 25.5 gr Varget with the 65 GK. Had good results with 24 gr H4895 too.

My T3 Lite ( 1/8 barrel ) likes 'em on top of BLC2.
Don't remember the load specifics though.

The older variety were 1/8. At least that is what is stamped on my barrel.

Specs say 1/12? Won it in a raffle.  Surprised me that it's a 1/8 as well.
