I couldn't lay off a Tikka T3 in .243 that I came across the other day, and now I'm working up a hunting load for it.
I was pleased to discover that the gun LOVES Federal Fusion factory ammo, twice now giving me 2" groups at 300 yards. I probably should just shoot it and call it a day, but what fun would that be?
Since I'm hunting deer, I prefer 100 grain bullets. However, this rifle has a 1:10 twist which I've read can be a problem with stabilizing the heavier .243 bullets.
So far, loading Hornady BTSP Interlock 100's over H4350 I've had mixed results. One day they group great, the next not so much. Meanwhile, the Federal Fusions are as predictable as the sunrise.
Just curious what other bullets/powders folks would recommend for a 1:10 .243 Tikka T3
Thanks.
