Tikka T3x Roughtech

That 140gr AB looks like a winner.

Yea. That 140 at 3100fps is gonna be a menace to whitetail.

Looks like you've got 3 loads that will work for you; the TGK, the BT and the AB!
Nice to have choices!
I'd hunt all kinds of big game with those loads! (But would prefer the AB for elk, just for the extra penetration and weight retention.)
Love to hear your on-game performance with the TGKs, as I have some to try in a few rifles, but haven't taken any game with this bullet as yet. But I expect them to work as well as the old SGKs have for me over the years! (As long as the rifles like them.)

I shot 140 TGK in my 6.5 PRC at roughly the same speed as the 270 load. It was my favorite bullet for the PRC. Silver dollar size exit holes, heavy blood trails, but short track jobs. Entry was tight to the opposite shoulder since he was quartering to me.

After a long elk hunt in December 2027 where my restocked Bergara made me think my arms were gong to fall off, I bought myself a Tikka 300 WSM. Consistently shoots under 1 MOA. Lightweight, easy to carry and haven't noticed the recoil. After years of hopping between rifles, this Tikka may just be "The One."

Hey..........sorry I'm late here.

I own the (almost) identical twin to the OP's rifle. 270 Win. Mine came with a blued barrel - no coating. I've installed the optional grip & forend. Rifle looks NICE. Weight's just right, balances & carries well.

How does it shoot? .5 moa all day long @ 100 yards.

My other 2 rifles - 30-06 and 308 Win? Both Tikka's - shoot the same 1 hole groups.

Not to change the subject here but a GIANT KUDOS to the underrated .270 Win cartridge. Over and over again - this rifle comes out of my safe first. And will the next time.

Hope you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine and that 140 gr AccuBond? Coupled with the 270...d**n near perfect for a long list of game animals.

Cheers ya'll.
