Tikka T3 Lite 300WSM Remington 07/15 Berthier 8x50R Lebel Love them both!

I found that all things being precisely equal in my .300WSM the WLR primers improved accuracy greatly over the CCIBR2. My 2 cents.

Very interesting article. Food for thought. Thanks for the info.

I am loading CT 168gr BST and need load data. If you have any pet loads I sure would appreciate it. Barrel is 24" on a Tikka T3 lite. Ray

What about the .300WSM?

OK, I went out yesterday with the new Tikka T3 300 WSM. After Shooting one shot then clean, shoot, clean etc.... For 20 rounds and not seeing any copper fouling I fired a nice 3 shot group. The 2 flyers were from the last 2 rounds for breaking in and sighting in the scope. What a nice shooter...

I was thinking of sticking with 165 to 180gr BT or AB. I will use it for Deer and Elk.

Thanks guys, That is just what I was looking for. As this is my first large bore Brand New rifle, (don't laugh), I want to do it right the first time. I did find the twist rate and soon I will start doing some test loads to find out what it really likes. With a 1/11 twist and a 24 inch barrel...

Its gone now and I now have a Nice NEW Tikka T3 Lite in 300WSM

Thanks, but I decided I had to get rid of it as I found out it had a bore not quite centered and a little oblong. GS said he would give me a break on labor to make it right. Yea right. Do not have RK gunsmith from Nampa build you a bolt rifle. Water under the bridge. JD338 nice rifle and great...

I am wondering what the proper procedure is for breaking in a New barrel. I am shooting a New Tikka T3 Lite in 300WSM. Also since it did not come with much info, does anyone know what the factory barrel twist is? Thanks a bunch in advance. Ray

My 280 AI has a Shilin barrel with a 1 in 9 twist rate. Question, what weight range in bullets should it shoot better? Not real happy with the 140 BT in this rifle so far. They shot nice in the one that was stolen last year but not in this one. Should I go to 150/160 or go down to 120 in the BT...

I like it, Real nice!

My 8mm Bertheir Lebel has knocked the crap out of countless Deer since brought into my family in the 1920's. Never failed to put them down on the spot. 8)
