Tikka 300 WM problems

[Benjamin]

190 vld, 200.20x, 200 Hybrid have very short bearing surface which would help and all would kill.

Hi. Do you mean they would handle a big jump or the 1:11 twist? Thanks

They would handle the twist. Berger classic hunter series is supposedly made for factory rifles with longer jumps. Hybrid are supposed to handle more jumps as well.

Magazine length in the Tikka's factory stock have always been a bit of hinderance to finding accurate handloads but its one of those things you just need to work through in your LD.
I have 2 T3's & have ditched the factory stock on both because Im not a fan of them, I have a DBM on one of the stock with an AI compatible mag & the other stock also uses the same mags.
Those WR mags look good if they give you more room!

I have 5 Tikka T3 Lites which have similar dimensions as the T3X, and can dial in accurate loads to saami spec max OAL with no issues. That Berger is pretty long but I would guess you can dial something in.

I have a Tikka 260 and modified both my mag and bolt throw in order to load longer. Worked like a charm. Do a search on tikka mag modification.

I've actually got a carbon fibre stock on order. Will be 250 grams lighter than the factory stock. It however takes the same mag setup. I'll hunt around and try and find some after market version that might work.

Yes. I was thinking about trying the 185 classic hunter. BC isn't great but I think that's the biggest CH they make

I don't think you can get Hammer bullets in New Zealand, but Barnes are plentiful
