load info Nosler Partition 60gr .224

[Brocolt]

I bought a box of Nosler Partition 60gr .224 to use in my Tikka rifle which has a 1-8" twist barrel.

Looking for best load ideas from other Tikka T3 users with a .223 cal

also looking for good hunting bullet for the .223 cal. was thinking of trying the Barnes TTSX bullet anyone try these for hunting?

...... also looking for good hunting bullet for the .223 cal.

If you have the 60 grain Partitions you already have a hunting bullet for your .223. (I assume you will be using this for critters larger than coyotes)

you bet, more like, wolf, pig & deer. yeah yeah I know .223 is small, this will be a back up load. since I'm working on gopher loads right now for my T3 with 40 & 55gr Vmax.
I thought I might as well work on a back up hunting load. my club range is only 200yrds it sucks.

I'm hoping someone here has a Tikka .223 1-8" and has worked on a load for this bullet, if I can get MOA at 200yrd I'll be very happy.

I'm planning to pick up a T3 or Pro hunter in .243 or 7mm-08 for my main hunting rifle.

My 1st 8 twist tikka shot this bullet very well over 26 gr varget (WW brass, WSR primers, MV 3020 fps). My new newest 8 twist tikka won't shoot them at all.

I always say you can have the same gun made on the same day, buy the same guy and still each gun will shoot differently.

Thanks for your info, I have some Varget & some FGMM primers & make a few test roads.
