| Hi there Tommo. I have a Tikka T3 Lite SS/synthetic in 7 rem mag. My load is 67gr RL22, CCI mag primer, Winchester brass with 162 A-Max projectile. I have shot 6 deer since xmas, closest was 15yards away and longest was 755 yards. They all die and rather fast. I like the high BC of the A-Max. Shoots .3s at 100 and still under an inch at 300. Sounds like yours does too. Awesome guns.

| Taupo, any idea what velocity you are getting with the 67 grs. RL22? Peter.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

| The 168gk may not be a "hunting" bullet, but the fast opening front, and significant mass will get the job done for deer sized targets. |
