Default Load for Tikka T3

Ok guys the Tikka T3 is on the way. caliber is .270. With todays ammo scarcity and price do any of you have a few factory loads to suggest starting with? I will not be handloading. Just looking for a few suggested brands of ammo to try that others have had really good success with on this gun. Thanks.

Default RE: Load for Tikka T3

My T3 likes Federal 117 grain Sierra Game Kings....although it is chambered in .25-06. My Remington 700 in 270 Win.shoots lights out with the Federal blue box130 grain. I buy this ammo locally for $12.99 to $15.99 a box.

The Tikka's usually are not to picky so start cheap and work you way up. No real need to get a "sexy" bullet. Federal blue box, Core-lokt, or Win power points.
