Just got my brand new Tikka T3 lite stainless in .270 win.
Just wondering if there were any fellow Tikka guys that could give me some advice on what factory loads worked best for them.
Plan on doing lots of hog hunting this summer...but, more interested in a good factory load for the deer hunt this fall.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
 
.270 Tikka

I used to use the Federal Premium 150 grain Nosler Partitions, never lost an animal but had a few bullets 'blow-up" when they hit there target. Just switched to the Hornady Custom 140 grain BTSP (Boat tail soft point) last fall with awesome results, 1/2'' groups at 100yds. Killed deer at 5 yards and at 310 yards with great bullet expansion and retention of weight. Hornady also has a "light mag" version in the .270 that I would try out. Nice piece, what are you putting on it for glass? Campbery
 
.270

I actually shoot a Sako, but same barrels. Shoot my .270 with a Leupold 2-7x33mm. Great deer gun. Killed a few moose too but upgraded last year to a Sako .338WinMag. for the moose. My uncle bought a T3 in 300WSM, fun gun to shoot. Sounds like your all set-up.
