Tomorrow I plan to get out early to shoot for the first time the rifle I will be using for deer/elk this year.
Tikka T3 Stainless 300 wsm, B&C medalist stock, Vortex Diamonback HP 3-12X42 BDC.
I have loaded up 180 accubonds behind Re 17, in norma brass, Fed 215, loaded to just fit in magazine and be able to feed.
5 rounds at 64.7
3 rounds at 65.0
3 rounds at 65.4
3 rounds at 65.7
3 rounds at 66.0
If I can get to the 66.0 grain loads safely and they shoot good, approx what velocities can I expect out of the Tikka's 24.3" barrel? Nosler Manual does not list Re 17, so I dont have a baseline for velocities.
