Who owns a Tikka and how accurate are they really?

Power,
Those 300 yard groups are impressive, but I wonder about the one flyer in each one. Which was your first shot, and was it with a clean barrel or fouled? Was it windy? The fact that in both cases you have two hits very close to one another makes me think that your rifle is capable of less than 1" groups at 300 yards.

I always shoot for accuracy on a dirty barrel. I try to make sure the barrel is cold when I start. I don' t know why the flyer, still getting better at shooting. The flyer could be me, hard to say. I think the rifle does shoot better that I' m capable of shooting it but as long as I can keep it MOA or better I' m content. Still dialing in the handloads for it but it should be better now. Actually shoots better on a clean barrel but I want to have it sighted in on a dirty barrel since any follow up shots will be that way. There is some side wind at the range I shoot at too so I could say that' s part of it. I don' t usually dope for wind, just try to wait until it' s calm to pull the trigger most of the time. Shooting a 160g bullet the wind shouldn' t affect it that much I think at 300 yards.

/off to check the charts

Well, wind could be to blame I guess. At 300 yards I lose 6" to drift in a 10mph crosswind so if there was a little breeze it could be that I guess.
