RE: .300 WSM

Just got back from the range with my Tikka T3 Lite & 180gr AB, and was quite impressed! While bench shooting with sandbags and 3-shot groups, I had a 1/2" group about 1.5" above center at 100yds, at...

RE: .270 win or .270WSM ?

I have the t3 lite in a 300WSM, which had a good kick. I added a limbsaver pad, which helped considerably, as the factory "pad" was a hard piece of plastic! My setup weighs 7 lbs with a Vari-xII,...

RE: New rifle

I do not have any exp with the 325, but it should do the trick! enjoy. My T3 Lite in 300WSM had a pretty good kick compared to my "heavy" 300WM. I added the Limbsaver Pad, which helped a lot.

RE: .300 WSM

I have not had a chance to load many rounds yet for my 300wsm, but at 100yds, I was getting good results on the 165gr Accubond with 65.5gr of H414, and the 180gr was working good with 67gr. of RL22.

RE: bolt hard to close....

Did you find anything out yet? I was having the same issue in my T3-Lite, which is now at the factory gunsmith (Beretta). They seem to be having difficulty determining what the problem is.
