.308 for T3

[af_newbie]

Hi there,

What is your favourite load for Tikka T3 Lite (.308)?

Target and hunting?

Any suggestions for a newbie reloader?

That would be your "target, full load", right?

What speeds does the above load shoot?

165gr Nosler partitions 44 gr Varget "2.811 OAL
150gr Accubonds 44.5gr Varget "2.813
165gr Hornaday Interbonds 42.4 Varget "2,845

They were seated out as far as the magazine would allow..

These were my best hunting/accuracy loads ...I don't have Chrony so I can't tell you the speeds...Book speed was a guesstimated around 25-2650 FPS or so...but they grouped very well..I had a T3 Lite Stainless

Not a hot load, was getting good results from 43, and 44 , so I decided on 43.5 , hunting and tgt. @ around 2750 fps, from a 26 in tube.
