Load data for tikka t3 in .243

[Gary in MD]

Thanks

does your rifle have a 1:8 twist?

My rifle is the older factory 9 twist, bone stock.

I have an older T3 1:10 twist. Hybrid 100v and 75 gr vmax work good. You should be able to shoot the heavier bullets with the 1:8 twist.

Never had anything 6MM/.243 that didn't like the 85 GK from Sierria. Some had loads they liked better,but all shot the Game King well.

108 Berger Match BT target behind 47.4 Ramshot Magnum propels it to 2890 FPS out of 24" barrel.

Awesome thank you.

Factory 1-10 ....I do Deer Control Shooting and have shot over 4000 deer with 243....all my shooting is done in the late summer early fall with plenty of biting insects....most deer are just DRT don't even go 100'....

I just bought a new tikka that I plan to use for protecting cattle from coyotes. Does anyone out there have a good recipe for this rifle. I would like to shoot a bullet between 70&90 grains as I live in extremely windy country. Thanks for any help

I have three .243 Win rifles and one .243AI that I use for predator control.
All four rifles love the Speer 75gr HP over 49.0gr of Superformance and the CCI-400 primers.
All shoot under 1MOA and I have taken coyotes out to 505 yards with the load.
A solid body shot with this stops them in their tracks.
BTW, this load (except using the 75gr Hornady bullet) is the load posted on the back of the Hornady Superformance factory varmint ammo.

I had a Tikka stainless T3 in .243 Winchester. My whitetail load was Hornady 100gr Interlock/Interbond pushed with H1000 and sparked with CCI200. Impressive ballistics in a Lapua case with optimal game harvesting! The hunters in central Georgia on our lease is into DRT with minimal meat damage.
