LARRO Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hello. I have received my Tikka t3 tac and need to buy some ammunition for it. Can anybody suggest a starting point for a good performing round. The gun has a 20" heavy barrel and a 1:8 twist. Thank you. Darran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Try hornady 55g vmax and hornady 60g tap they work well in my 24" 1/9"twist cz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutiny Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've got a T3 with the 1:8, it seems to like the PPU 69g and the Hornady 55g Vmax already mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorvale55 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Well said Mutiny, PPU all the way, half price to the rest and just as good. (Mines in a 243 though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I've got a Steyr Mannlicher 223 with a 1 in 9 twist. The best factory target ammo I've found for it so far is RWS GECO 55grn. £25 per 50, and it'll group 1" at 100 metres. PPU in the same rifle is 2-3 inch groups.
