    I have a 6mm (similar to 243) and have good results with both RL19 and IMR4350.

    Well my friend always says how expensive his 22-250 ammo is and I'm not impressed with his gun at all.  He couldn't get it to group at all a the range the 1 day using my lead sled and blamed it on his brand new scope.  I know the gun wasn't moving because i don't think ive ever seen a steadier way to shoot than the lead sled.  I'm kinda leaning more towards the .223 more and more.  I coyote competition i was in last year 17 were taken by the 223 and 5 by a 204.

    22-250 has higher velocity than 223 = flatter trajectory and more energy with same bullet.

    My T3 22-250 has taken a few coyotes and it's pretty accurate:

    A trip to a gunsmith would probably end the problem.  I sure wouldn't live with that if I couldn't fix it myself.

    I have one in 30-06 that I picked up for $400.  It was neglected and needed some TLC.  The thing shoots lights out but it does kick a bit.  A limb saver helps a lot.  My next thing will probably be a muzzle brake.

    My recommendation:  Shoot it!

    You can shoot magnum primers just back down your load about 1 grain and work back up to be safe.

    Muzzle brake to help with the recoil and you can get a recoil pad.

    Nice shooting!

    That's because his stock is for a T3 and not a M695.

    Never heard of a Tikka T3 M895.

    My guess is his action was not a Tikka T3.

    A muzzle brake will help reduce felt recoil.

    Very nice rifle!

    Merry Christmas!
