owensby, Don't have it in SS but do have the Hunter!! Love it!  I have only tried one bullet, Nosler 110grn Accubond, and two powders, RE22 and H4831, so far. The RE22 wasn't grouping for me but, the H4831 did REEAALLL good. Just getting going and dropped a 1 3/8" 5 round group at 200yds. I used necked sized brass that was weighed, Prmr. Pckt. uniformed, Flash hole uniformed and neckturned with Federal match primers loaded up to around 53.5grns of powder. Bullet was seated about 0.010" off the lands.

Well, I have a M695 Tikka in 25-06 Rem. I am not near my load data, but as I recall, I have a 85 gr. Nosler BT load that is way sub-MOA, and I think that is a RL-15 load, near published maximums, with a CCI LR primer. I am working a 100 gr Barnes TSX load, now. But I can't recall the details of these test loads. Tikkas usually have more good loads, than bad, so I would suggest try using powders listed, in data books, that you have on hand. Chances are you will find a very accurate load, with your "usual" powder selection.

I have a T3 lite that was for sale on this site, but I changed my mind and will be keeping it. It likes 54 grains of H4831 with a Nosler 100 BT. Its definitely is one of the most accurate factory rifles in that caliber I have ever shot. | |||

I shot some loads wednesday using the sierra 100 gr SP,but only had 2 groups less than an inch.Got a box of sierra match bullets and shot 11 different loads today.10 out of the 11 were less than an inch.R-25 and Imr 3031 shot the best for me so far.For a new rifle I was plesaed with it today.If the wind hadn't been blowing they may have been a little tighter. Think I am going to like the Tikka. Went to a friends wed when I shot the other bullets and he has a varmit in 308.I got to shoot it and the first 4 groups I shot were three shot one holers,Going to have to have one of those too.  | |||

The Tikka's really are great rifles for the price. I have a 338 and love it. Sub MOA right out of the box with factory ammo. | |||
