I took my new Tikka TX3 CTR out for the first time today.
I loaded up 5 per group with a total of 4 groups. First try and wow.View attachment 534784
Hornady eld x 143 g
RL 25
CCI LRP magnum
Nosler brass.
All four of the 5 rnd groups were sub MOA.
100 yard groups.
The second and last group were the best.
I messed up on the last shot of the last group because I stopped after 4 rounds,to let the barrel cool down.
Still a good group though.
It was showing a bit of pressure signs though.
A very slight case head swipe and a barely noticeable ring around the base.
I can see this leading to a case head separation eventually.
So , what’s your thoughts?
