Any 7-08 users out there achieving better than 2800fps avg MV from Varget using 140gr BalTips??? I’m charged up to 41.5gr powder reaching 2750 avg MV, but 42gr has shown pressure signs before. [emoji848] Thinking of switching to H4350. Any help or similar powder load comparisons would be...

Have head and neck shot deer with smaller polymer tipped projectiles, and while kill shots, I was not happy with the slow death trauma, so am seeking a heavier weight projectile that will stabilise in a slow twist .22-250. So I think I’ve found it, and with tweaking the seating depth a bit...

@Alderman Fun to read that someone else on the forum from the other side of the Pacific is trying out 60g PTs in .22-250 at the same time I am [emoji1360] I’m shooting a Tikka T3x with 1:14” twist 22” barrel with suppressor. Shooting very well, with my best group last weekend being 0.58” @...

Awesome! [emoji38] What are the odds? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found the same recently when comparing my 7mm-08 loads. Aren’t the vast majority of commercial factory barrels 22”? If so, Nosler using 24” barrels in test is frustrating at best, as we can’t really use the manual for benchmarking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes! Good combo with Varget, although I found slightly better results with Benchmark. Mine is Tikka T3 1:8" 53gr V-Max, Fed205, 24.5gn Benchmark, 2.289 COAL 53gr V-Max, Fed205, 24.0gn Varget, 2.289 I had no luck with jump in mine, so kissing lands produced my best 5 shot group at 100metres of...

Hi @desertcj I have to say it...try reducing your load a bit maybe? Drop back to around 44.5-45.0 and play with .02 increments in seating depth. You should be grouping much better than this at only 100yds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome work @roncwarren Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

+ 1 for the above. My rifle loves 53gn V-max and also 55gn BT with both Benchmark (BM2) and Varget (AR2208). 24.5gn Varget has proven to be the ducks nuts for me in my Tikka T3 using 55gn BT shooting best group of 0.2" at 100m Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Would never sell mine. I bought it for NZ$400, put a Timney trigger on it and modified some of the steel so more user friendly...shoots sub MOA with factory ammo and is more than twice my age! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yum. Good work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Tikka really likes 55gr Ballistic Tips as well, but I'm yet to achieve a clover leaf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great shooting Fotis. I found a sweet spot for my Tikka 22-250 as well...37.5g VARGET and 40g V-Max Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
