Any of the popular cup and core tipped bullets or LRX / TTSX will work well. I'm more curious about your powder & brass choices and if you plan on loading these up to the full potential of the t3x action.
Might do a thread in the reloading forum if there aren’t a ton in there already.
Probably looking at lead 140 class bullets at 2750 and lighter weight monos north of 2900 ideally. So if I can achieve that with some wiggle room to find a nice load I’m happy. If I can’t get the speed I want I will get a bigger cartridge.
Don’t see the sense of pushing it too hard but I might venture into more modern pressures.
Nephew shot a mule buck and white tail buck in successive years with the Hornady interlock ahead of RS Magnum. One shot in both cases. 100-150 yards in each case. Seemed to work pretty well
I used it for a few years, before moving onto my present load, with the 140 grain SST or 127 grain IL.
My Tikka T3 Lite is factory standard stainless, and it will consistently shoot those three bullets in sub moa right past 300yds, which is about as far as I will shoot. To many things start going wrong with elements beyond my control after that distance.
I use IMR7828ssc powder over CCI 250 primers for just over 2850 fps. It's a load you won't find in any manuals, which are all kept in check because of the huge number of milsurps chambered for the round.
Paul T, has the twin to my rifle and used a similar load, but went to a different powder.
The Tikka T3 is a very strong action and capable of handling the highest magnum pressures.
