Budget Tikka 300wsm build

[pointy sticks]

Nice looking rig! I am in the process of trying to build one. Good info thank you.

Alot of guys at Williamsport use 11 twist with 210vlds. Try the Williamsport load it's a hammer.
60.5 to 61.5 of h4350 with the 210. 2850fps. Mine shoots 61.1 at 2880. Lots of little groups shot with this combo. 300wsm is one accurate cartridge. Like your rifle.

Found a nice flat spot between 61 and 61.5 with 4350. need to check it out further. Tried some r23 and pretty happy with the results. Off a bipod and rear bag at 200

Nice to see your name back up on the boards. Looks like that 64.4 is rocking good. 300 wsm definitely has some big wide nodes. I think that's why it's so successful at 1k matches it never goes out of tune. Set it and forget it. Real good barrel life too. I'm switching mine out to a 7saum because I want that way higher bc with more speed. I haven't put that barrel on yet still catching up customer guns for hunts. But it's going to be a long throat 300wsm on a long 700. I scoped that barrel and it's real nice so it should hammer.
Once it's done it will probably hit the classified section. I'm really liking my new 6.5saum.

Love to see your build. Surprised that there aren't more 7mm types at Williamsport. Seems like 6,6.5 or 300

1 7saum does real good and a few 7rem mags here and there. Ballistically the 7saum crushes the 300wsm. So if I can get a good time it should do great. It's going in my 77 pound heavy gun. Just the barreled action weights 18 pounds. All aluminum stock is heavy.

Decided to upgrade. turned the barrel down and added carbon fiber to save weight. Final weight is 8lb 15oz with optics.

Looks great. The CF turned out great too

Thanks

Here is the Tikka I just finished up for a friend. He just shot a big mulie with it on its first day in the field.
I did not make the carbon fiber on mine. I'm not as ambitious as some.

Thanks Buck. Its a bit of work but is worth it, assuming it shoots the same. We'll see

I can't wait to see the accuracy test. I have heard good and bad on CF barrels. This will be very interesting

Thanks

Took it out today and shot some r26 with 210s. Liked the hotter charges but still seems slow.
68.4 2805fps
68.7 2821fps
69.0 2842fps
Was hoping for 2900+ but maybe it needs more rounds down it, or maybe it's just slow. Definitely likes 4831sc the best for accuracy

Was 69 giving sticky bolt or could you go higher?
