May have been covered but couldnt find anything on it....the Tikka 223 factory ammo....any reviews or comparisons to other factory ammo? Some reasonable prices around.

Some good quality loads in the sako line up but pricey - but having said that if your are not a high volume shooter or plinker a box or three of their decent ammo will last you a while - and should equate to a deer with every shot!!- if you do your part!!

How many rounds in what time frame could you fire out of Tikka lite .223 1:12 before accuracy would be compromised? Roughly..
I used to have the varmint but traded it in for the lite, I know this is a factor for the sporter models.
Cheers

What I was meant is if I had my rifle sighted in and I fired the magazine of 4 in as quick of succession as I could manage, would there be any expectation that the point of impact would wander. albeit slightly due to the heat?
