- Groups that my Tikka T3x Varmint in .223 was able to pull off. I have since shot a .75 inch group with the Hornady 55 gr. V-Max bullets. They always work well in my rifles, so I wanted to give them another try.

Thank you for your help. Perfect video. I prefer the 1@8 twist, and you hit it on the head. 55 grains are hit n miss but they prefer the heavier grains. Very nice video. Thanks again!!!
Pitbull Bite thanks! That is definitely the case!
Nice addition to your other video. I'm looking at this gun in this caliber for a next purchase.
it's a great gun. i have a remington 700 5r in stainless steel that im gonna do a video soon. the bolt on the tikka compared to the remington is night and day. the tikka bolt is smooth like no other!
Many thanks for sharing!
Anytime
Well done in finding the most accurate load for your rifle, The Feds BTHP are grouping nice, Tikkas are accurate when they find the right load.Thanks for sharing your testing.
SpudTikka Balloch Appreciated! And yeah, the federals did really well, a week after i made this video I bought some calipers. The Australian outback ammo group was actually .62.. I really like that ammo. Thanks for watching
Try with a fine aiming point the red circle is too big to constantly get center
Out of 1.8 twist ar build .9" 3 shot group at 100 with sierra 69gr prairie enemy. outstanding video
Thanks for watching!
Interesting to see the cold bore shots together third shot off.
Rhis is great and very helpful. I might puck one up soon for $8 Bill's. I think this will pair up well with not 18" SPR build. Looks like both will do well with 77gr.
I was wondering how it did with lighter pills. This answered my question. I’ll loading the heavier soon.
I think 1:8 twist must like >62 grain bullets 😊
Barrel length, gunpowder & charge weight, consistency of case volume, bullet weight, neck tension of the bullet and of course bullet weight and outdoor temperature and humidity. Has the biggest factor in the groups . The heavier bullets in your gun looks like the way to go . Then play oal then your neck tension, then charge weight if you hand load. If you are using factory ammunition try it at 30• to 40• temp change. Some will really tighten up or open up. Good review you got there. I myself start with few box of factory ammunition. Let’s me know if I have a finicky barrel or not and preference in FPS and bullet weights.
This was a nice, honest video. Hopefully handloads were tried, with a 1 in 8 twist I'd be expecting to see some longer, heavier bullets.
I've got a Bergara BA13 in 1 in 8. 16.5 inch barrel. Paradoxically it shoots best with 150 gn round, one which is a generally accurate projectile and with a variety of 165 to 180 gn its average.
You need to fine tune your bedding screws and make sure your barrel is free floating. The last two Tikka rifles I bought had touching spots of the furniture to the barrel, once free floated and bedding screws fine tuned the .223 gives .25MOA 10 shot groups with the Hornady 53gn V-Max, a deadly projectile.
You should post a video 1/4 moa 10 shots is incredible
@@dangerranger4323 it's do-able
1 in 12 or 8?
I actually expected a little better from the Tikka. My CZ 527 .223 1/9 was sub moa with 2 of the 3 factory loads I tried. My go to for chucks is the 55 grain v max.
My Ruger American does .75 with 75 gn at 1/3 the price today.
My CZ 1;8 loves Hornady 68grain boat tails 1/2 moa 100yards 23.5 grains of powder all day
...the Federal GMM 69grn were 0.5 MoA in my 1:9 @100 yards.
its funny how people think tikka cant make a shitter. they can!!! i bought a 22-250 with a barrel that is totally full of stress. i spent hundreds on load development and it just throws rocks all over the place. and no there were no stones unturned. i spent 60 bucks on Devcon aluminum epoxy and filled the forearm and bedded the action better than most can because im a very competent rifle accuracy gunsmith. tikka makes outstanding actions but they have mass produced barrels that can be great and can also suck.
That’s funny, everything else shot just as good as the all mighty Hornady 😂 #neverbeenimpressedwithhornady!
Bj Cash lol i know right. Thanks for watchin!
أهلآ وسهلآ أخي
ملاحظة مهمه
أخي مفروض ترمي طلقه واحده من نفس ذخيره غير محسوبه
بعدها ترمي على هدف
لأن الطلقه الأولى تضبط خط السبطانة
وعندما ترمي الطلقه الثانية تكون دقيقه
لذلك جميع تجميعك هذا في خطا وضلم
ولو تعيد التجربه راح تلقى النتيجه مختلفه جدآ أنا خبير رماية.
What barrel twist?
I have a t3 Varmint 1 in 8 twist, I mostly shoot 75g Hornady BTHP and 77gn Siera Match kings, all reloads.
Try 5 shot groups next time
wavelength1970 1 in 8
@@L33tmaster15 Not nearly heavy enough projectiles for that twist rate
zhukie I have a tikka t3x Varmint 223 with a Boyd’s stock and 1-8 LotherWolther Varmint barrel. I’m able to shoot the 53gr vmax 1/2 moa. Some of the time you are right, the fast twists are picker with the light ones but sometimes are great. It also shoots the hornady 75gr bthp 1/4 moa. 5 shot groups
Treyden French internet is great. You can say anything!
Gad Zooks, not a good group in the bunch. Heavy gusty wind?
that american eagle that shot a 4 inch group? yeah, its terrible stuff. Its 50 grain polymer tipped ammo. I shot a group with that stuff in a remington 700 in .223 and a colt AR15. remington did a 3.2 inch group and the colt did about a 5 inch group (colt had a red dot though) that stuff sucks.
maybe those are 300 yard groups? :(
@@klaybuster1 says 100 yrds in the title. Why would you shoot such light projectiles with a 1 in 8 twist though...if he can't get 69gr+ ammo he should have bought a 1 in 12
@@zhukienot true check out the Ruger American how it groups at 100yds sub Moa with 52g
My 223 rem t3x ctr don't like 55gr, 69gr ruag target shoot well for a bulk ammo. Soon trying some 5g scenars to see how they work.
يعني عندما تنتقل للذخيرة التالية
تاخذ رصاصه وترمي بعيدآ عن الهدف لكي تعمل خط داخل تسوت سبطانة وعندما تأتي الطلقه الثانية تجد الطريق ممهد لها وممسوح
وشكرآ جزيلآ.
You should try Federal SMK 69gr. You might be amazed.
Reload!! That Tikka should shoot
.5 I've shot Remington for 40 years, but they are an investment group guns are sad compared to yesteryear I'm going Tikka
paw crawl Owens It does shoot .5 all day long with Australian outback .223. It loves that ammo.
@@L33tmaster15 we don't get that in Arkinsaw thinking about a Tikka in 6.5x55
1/8 twist should shoot anything and especially in a Tikka. 55 grain is not too light for 1/8. I had a Colt AR with a 1/7 twist that would shoot moa/sub moa with handload 55 grain.
Looks like that rifle does not like factory loads
For good reason, FGMM is the only factory ammo I shoot in my rifles if I want consistency and accuracy
Thank you. I was looking for this exact information. What is your barrel length ?
Ben Kanobe 23.7 inches
How far u shooting?
Chue Xiong 100 yards
55 grains or more.

@@L33tmaster15 Great thank you so much
Thanks for the video I was going to buy a Tikka Varmint but saw it was 1/8 and not 1/12 twist. Don't think I will buy one now that thing groups worse than my 17 WSM and thats a rim fire with only 3 types of factory ammo to choose from. I would send that gun back.
.6 at 100 yards lol ya what a crap gun
@@jimsbarg My Tikka super varmint does .4 inch 5 shot groups, Not using factory ammo though.
hand loads , 55 grain. v max, 25 grains. Benchmark 2 .
3 shot group is cheatin!
You're using too light pills with 1 in 8" twist to stabilise, surely. At least 69 and above. If you had a 1:12, then definitely.
Ppu aye. Cheap but will do me
