The 300 short mag in a Tikka T3 lite has a 1/11 twist in the barrel. What weigth bullet would be best for this rate of twist?

They say it's the length of the bullet and not the weight. In any case the 1-11" should be ok for any reasonable hunting bullet.

Sierra's number is 1.800.223.8799

I agree with Savage99 but it might have a slight preference towards 150/165 wts. With todays "super bullets" like the tsx, northfork etc that is simply not a problem and may actually be a preference in my book.

Like I stated in tthe other forum, a 1 in 11" is stabalizing 200 grain bullets for me, and 180 grainers are extremely accurate out of my tikka.

AAdams,

Nosler Federal Accubond 180 Grains - Out the Box Half Moa or better.
The combination of the Tikka T3 lite and Accubond are stunning. Federal Load No P300WSMA1

Last night I took my tikka in 300WSM out with a load of 63.5 grains H4350, 180 grain nosler accubonds, norma brass, and WLRM primers. 0.22" 3 shot group. I don't think I will mess with other loads for this rifle.

Thanks for the info shilen30.I went and bought H4350 I will have to order the accubonds but i got some 180gr match kings i started with 60gr of H4350 and loaded up five rounds and went out to my range all five shots eat out one nice little hole.Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you have yourself a winner AAdams. I have always been told you should shoot for the heavier end of the bullet range that a specific twist will handle for best accuracy (taking into consideration you are using good bullets). I love the matchkings for target practice as well. MKs on paper and accubonds for the field (and plenty good on paper as well).
