Rifle brand: Tikka t3x
Rifle Model: Compact
Custom built: No
Barrel length and twist: 20" 1 in 11
Projectile brand, model and weight:Hornady SST 165 grain
Powder brand and weight: 46.0gr of IMR 4064

Primers: Federal 210M
Coal: 2.800"
Ogive length: No idea
Brass: New hornady brass
Brass length: 2.007"...ish

Groups were a consistent 3/4 moa with an average velocity of 2700 fps. Suspect low pressure signs at this velocity as I did spot 1 unburnt kernal at the last round when I pulled the bolt for cooling. I'll check again with more and I'll be trying some lower charged rounds I have to see if they group good, but this looks to be my deer round....indefinitely.
