tikka t3 light stainless

[willum 89]

hi all have got a tikka t3 light stainless and a t8 mod on it ive read alot of the stoies about home loads and grouping but i have no home loading kit so im having to use factory loaded rounds and ive found that my rifle seems to like firing winchester 50g balistic silver tips ive tried the remmington rounds but not as consistant and federal were useless . just wandering what peeps thought to these and what results your getting with these or other rounds . yis willum

hi mate your talking about 22/250 ? if so the winchester silvertip rounds are good in mine to. i hear alot of people say they shoot well in there rifles.

 

there very fast to. over crono in my 26 inch barrel 22/250 winchester they where pushing over the 3800 fps mark ! very flat shooting round for sure. and great accuracy. sako 50 grain gameheads are worth a try also

I have tried a few in my 223 t3 hunter. For me there was no comparison, Norma 50gn vmax shoot like a tack driver at 100 metres. At 150 they still shoot sub 1 inch and drop very little. This past weekend I shot 1.75 groups at 200. Hope this helps ,I paid 14.95 box of 20.

14 quid for 20 alright for some im paying a few pence shy of 30 quid for 20 silver tips in 50gr 22.250 and cant get the norma v max around here

I have T3 Lite Stainless .223 and T3 Hunter .243, Both have P8 Compacts fitted.

 

They both work well with PRVI, never going to win any world championships but for a relatively, very innexpensive round, they can both easily do 1" if I do my part.

 

Having said that Mr L has made a few home brews over the months for me and I think it was one batch of .243 that were virtually in the same hole!!

[willum 89]

well if there is any 22/250 bofs out there that would like to make and send me some home brew rounds to try feel free

get yourself some reloading kit some powder,dies, bullet heads and primers and your away mate.

 

the silvertips are dear ammo and trust the dear stuff to shoot the best in your rifle. its allways the case when your trying to save some dosh.

 

shame you didnt live closer you could have used my reloading gear

Try hornadys own brand. I use homeloads 55g v max in the 22/250 and they are great but i've also used hornady factory rounds and they shoot 3/4 inch groups through my T3. Well impressed considering its a factory round. The ones i tried were molys and £19 a box.

Its a case of trail and error mate as you have to find the round that suits your barrel as they all perform differently.Keep your eye out for a home loading kit as home loads can be made to suit your gun and in my opinion are alot better.As for factory ammo they are all good but again its shoot the 1 that performs best in your rifle.

federal v-shok were by far the best and the 40, 50 and 55gr had the same POI.
