Any Tikka 7 mag owners?
« on: August 20, 2010, 05:44:34 AM »
If so what ammo is working for you?  I tried the HSM loaded with 168 Bergers and can not get it to pattern.   :bash:  Just trying to get some ideas to start with to try to save some cash. 

Thanks
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

Try the winchester silver ballistic tips, they shoot great out of my tikka, and have performed really well on animals. Win. also offers some good ballistic charts on there web site....Good luck
Go hawks

That's a really long bullet.
Go online and get a twist rate conversion chart.

Hey Muleysniper, I cant seem to remember your tikka ever hitting anything last winter, hmm.  :rolleyes:  Oh you did have one good hit,  when you slipped on the ice and your a$$ hit the dirt.   :chuckle:
