Tikka T3 .223 handloads

[The Ace]

I am looking to buy a Varmit Tikka T3 in .223 and use it on the range to punch paper initially.Does anyone have a good load they worked up on this rifle.

Any good Varmit hunting loads for rabbits out to 200-250yds.

I have a Remington VLS in .223 with a 26" barrel. I load the 40gr Barnes VLC bullets at their max load of 31gr H335 and my rifle touches holes at 100 yards. This load is moving about 4000 fps according to the Barnes reloading book and my extra 2" of barrel.
