My firearm license for the Bergara 300aac blk arrived today, the police needed 3 weeks to process it I expected 5-6 weeks. I also picked up a cheep scope and rings for it. The outdoors store were out of ammo for it they had sold many rifles in what caliber.

June.  I got the new cert back about a month ago.  About five months wait.!!  The new cert isn't written correctly so I have got to send it back for alteration.  It just happens that this delay is caused by historical events that mean that there are a great deal of renewals in this year of a five year cycle.

Wow whats a long time. I have/have had several licenses with wrong spelling , 307W(,308W), a percussion revolver 1860 army in .44mag???, target revolver on hunting license. Here the Police in southern Sweden created a delay on firearms licenses of several months as a illegal political protest against the most law abiding citizens as licensed firearm owners are.Then they had to make one unit of several Police units so every firearm permit go through the same system and it takes 5-6weeks (In the 1990 it took about a week here in the north to get a licese).

There is in fact a 307 winchester.

It was chambered in their m94BB( Big bore).

Yes I know I made a bid at an auction on one ,307w 94ae a month ago but it went to high for me to be worth it. So I yes have a license with the wrong caliber for a tikka .308w rifle not ,307w the offical designation are correct 7,62*51 .

[KimE 487]

Lapua 170gr, hornady 150 fmj, lapua 123gr fmj, Sierra varminter 110, 85 gr fmj, together with a .308w and a 22lr case.

The boattail takes up so much space in the 300blk.

Testning loads in the Bergara.

 

[Sausagedog 7,381]

I like that little rifle

[KimE 487]

I like it too, best load developement group 11mm/ .45” at 50m with sierra varmint 110gr.

blown up blackgrouse target at 100m.

 

[KimE 487]

I have chronografed some loads

123gr Lapua fmj

2225fps (H110)

2011fps (VV N120)

the Hodgdon H110 load are at max pressure vise, Vihtavouri N120 will overfill the case before to high pressure are reached. It was a cold day -15c.

Rem 110gr

2267 (H110)

This morning we have -18c here. I hope i reach the range to resight in my tikka today i got the scope loose on a hunt.

Dont be afraid to compress the n120 if you think it is safe to keep going charge wise but the powder is up in the neck.

Then again you may be completely  satisfied with the load as is ofcourse. 

[KimE 487]

I will try to load more of N120 19gr are filling a bit of the neck, the cold are not helping my shooting tecnic. H110 will still give more speed with 110-125gr bullets. The only bullet iam pleased with the precision are 110gr sierra hp , the Lapua 123fmj are ok and the rest have not lived up to my expectations.

It is a new barrel and that type of action can give issues with accuracy.  

You could consider shooting it with out the forend off just to see if there is an effect on the group size.
