Well finally got the time and the right weather to do some load testing today with the new Swede and I'm pretty happy with the performance so far??? I think I'm headed in the right direction with this ??? 123 Grn serria HPBT with 44 Grns of 2209 driving it at a average speed of 2710 FPS on the crony Had a few different loads and surprise- surprise this thing like to jump the lans ,this even blew me away as the other T3 hunter using 140 Grn SST likes to be 10 thou off the lans go figure???? Anyway will try to post some pics up soon/tonight and see what you guys think needs to change????Minded you this rifle has now only fired 55 rounds so it still is in it development stages. We also did some testing on the 8" gong at 500m and well we rung that sucker 4 outta 4 times man I'm loving this thing. Thanks Mr tikka!!!!!!

I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
I look forward to seeing how she goes on em mate. My cousin had one years ago, bloody thing shot very well, nailed a roo at 600m plus and it dropped like a bag of ******! that's when I fell in love with the cal and if I ever go a bigger cal than the ones I have now it would definitely be in the mix and right up near the top of the list.
