Dekers Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have the T3 Hunter in .243. Unless you have the T3 Lite Stainless the barrel is identical, mine likes PRVI but the 90g SP edges the 100g in mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_in_the_midlands Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) I am really pleased with mine. Only thing I had to do was reduce the trigger weight. Much lighter to carry than the M595, especially fitted with the lightweight A-TEC moderator. I have not found any factory ammo that it does not like. Using 40gr Norma.

Dekers Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 10 twist varmit 58 grain hornady v max for charlies works well The ammo is excellent and a pussy cat to fire, but plenty of barrels in 1-10 are still not that keen on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cossygun Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 As above i think i'll source a box and see how they fair !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_in_the_midlands Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 You are right Dekers - One of us is confused . Sorry - Cossygun knew I had a .223 and asked how I was getting on with it. I see how this would look strange to someone reading a post about a .243, but we knew what we were on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 i think i'll source a box and see how they fair !! 75grn vmax are better if you can find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Agree with alex.. I get good results in my rifle with 75grn Vmax, as do others. These are homeloads though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog546 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I have been using the Hornady 58grs in my Tikka T3 with awesome effect,according to the box 3850fps,foxes certainly dont like em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'd try the 90gr Prvi if your gun likes the 100's. 90's certainly open up fairly quickly and would work fine on Foxes. If you're getting good groups with it why go out and try to find something that costs three times as much to use? Doesn't make sense to me!
