[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1560036, member: 41338"] You may not be doing anything wrong. Looking for a good load on a new gun can sometimes be tricky. One thing that almost always gets overlooked is how the shooter shoots the gun. Tikka's are sort'a light and lighter sporter guns often have their own character and how they like to be shot. I'd take a bit of time to experiment with how you shoot the gun. Soft hold or hard hold? Light or heavy cheek pressure? Tensioned pocket muscle or relaxed? Low, med or hard pull into the shoulder? Low, med or hard push of body mass into the gun? Are you slapping the trigger or does your trigger finger still have the trigger depressed well after you break the shot? Thumb wrapped around the grip or thumb on top? Is your body mass lined up directly behind the rifle or are you canted a bit to one side? Follow through after the shot breaks or not so much? Chances are, after you've torn down how you shoot the gun, you'll find a noticeable improvement from one thing to another. If so, write it down so you don't have to burn through 20 shots to re-remember what you figured out. After a while, it'll be second nature. [/QUOTE]
