Ordered some of Chad's bulk match .308 loaded with 168gr A-maxes. Was able to shoot it some today at 200 yards just before dark. Was using the tikka CTR with Bushnell 6500 elite 2.5-16 scope and a cheapo Caldwell bipod and a rear sand bag. The rifle and ammo are a more accurate combo than I am, but I shot one 5 shot group to see how they shot (previously had shot 10 rounds at other paper and steel targets).

WP, the gun is shooting great with any and every load I've fed it, it is probably the most consistently accurate gun I have owned. Thanks again for the sale and the communication on ammo afterwards. I preordered a B&C medalist tactical model stock to accommodate the heavy barrel and upgrade it at least cosmetically if not in performance also. Very excited to start dropping coyotes with this rig.

Your welcome. If it would have been left handed I would have never sold it. But I'm well on my way with my left handed build now.

My unscientific measuring on the screen says that's around a .7" 200 yard group. That's right there with my personal best.

Outside edge to outside edge it was a little less than an inch across the widest spread, so maybe 0.9?

I got some of Chads 7mm loads and they shot lights out. So much so I have considered selling all my reloading stuff and just letting him load for all my rifles. If it wasn't for my 22-250 I would of already done it. If I can find enough stuff to load 2k rounds of it I will.
