Feets / Collection / My build New boom stick.

Gotta love walking into your local Shopper's and walking out with a box that says 'rifle case' and inside that box is a Tikka T3x Ace Target in 6.5 Creedmoor. Can't wait to try this beauty out tonight at the range.

You'll be happy. I have mine with reloads hitting 0.3 MOA @ 100y. Sub 1" at 400

0.3moa at 100 and 0.25moa at 400. Seems too good to be true (unless it’s a lucky 3 or 5 shot group)

Just 5 shot groups then let the barrel cool. I understand it's not a PRS comp where 10-20 shots are fired in a short span. The Peterson brass, V4 Autotrickler & Berger yellow box dropped my SD around 4ish.

Sample size has nothing to do with barrel profile. I’d recommend shooting 2x 5 round groups on the same POA to accurately measure the true group size of the rifle system.

Don't get caught up in the Hornady ELDM. My Tikka hates them. Berger or Scenar L projectiles
