Recognize that range as well...

I am interested in T3 TAC A1 in Creedmoor...or 260.

All these groups look great.

How is first cold bore shot on fouled barrel?....same as follow up shots or is there any POI shift as barrel warms?

No issues with cold bore impacting to a different poi on either of my tikkas. Maybe if it was recently cleaned but I don't clean them very often.

Hit the 100 round mark in the barrel and it seems to be breaking in nicely, 100 yard 3 shot group.

 

[sookie_69]

I don't have a picture posting thing, but my best 300 yard group with my Tikka T3 in 300 WSM was 1.1" with 210 gr HPBT SMKs on H4831SC. Gun is in a custom stock but is a factory barreled action.

Only three shot groups but they are not unusual for the two 308 CTR rifles. Both in custom carbon stocks and both using Hornady 168gr BTHP match factory ammo. Have similar groups from a 243 T3 however never managed very tight groups with two 223 1/8 twist sporters, around 9mm was very good for the 223's.

One of the 308 CTR's different day. Again Hornady Match ammo

as comparison... T3 with a Lilja barrel 308 Hornady match ammo also in a carbon custom stock.

Thanks.

Are suppressors legal in Ireland?

 

[EJG]

Yes Suppressors are legal.... If one has a good reason. We control foxes or deer close to livestock and horses which is reason enough. Our suppressors seem to be cheaper than what we see in the US. Just about all of my rifles have a suppressor.

I've got mine shooting pretty nice in my new McMillan. Looking forward to a new heavier barrel to help with shots stringing from the heat. This grouping was fired in 3 parts, 2 shots, then cooling, 2 more and cooling again, and then 1 final round. If I try to do a solid 5 shot string they open up over an inch, but are consistently under 3/4" at 100 yards with time given to cool.
