Do not rely on your “feel” you will do better to document your practiced, repeatable same ammunition tests
-
Mountain tactical has magazines
They are fine and affordable, the best are from https://watersrifleman.com/magazines/

The tak a1 break is huge and I hate it. It works well but I have a couple of suppressors that I prefer. And I know of some better that are smaller.
If you buy a Tac a1 plan to buy a suppressor or a better slimmer brake.

If the original failed then definitely get it replaced
If you understand the aftermarket then buy a replacement
-
Yes of course Rem ammo will work
I will say that it’s hard to find and perhaps looking on ammo seek might be the best source.
I have a hundred rounds of Winchester bargain ammo on hand but unless you reload it would not help you much

I saw one recently at Scheels in Fargo nd

I hunted with 185 gr magnum loads and regretted it. If you are not hunting elk or moose then use 150- 165 gr bullets , but mainly hunt with most accurate bullets. Tikkas are 1:11 twist in 30 cal. Use 150-180 gr bullets

Pretty nice, I have worked hard on my Tikka. T-1 to get it installed but if it works then kudos!
-
Sorry for assuming you had the slow twist. Dog and Larkin have steered you right.
On the jump there is some recent research on the benefits of longer jump but in the end it’s about experimentation.
There have been a couple of articles on Bullet jump in the prs community, I forget the name but do a search on something like professional shooters .
The guy does polls on prs shooters for data on rifles, scopes and everything and he is seeing Beni it’s to longer jumps -
You might find the reticle on StrelokPro pro
-
Leica is good, bit pricey
-
I’ve heard it’s available but no idea where
-
Is the new Tikka compatible with the old platform? Sorry I’ve been gone but wow if if things have changed….
-
Ok I have 8 tikkas and 6 scopes (I have more but these are best)
I hate that I have to sight in so many times
Get a good scope for a good rifle and you are golden -
If you have the 1:12 twist your best accuracy will be with 55 gr and lighter.
You had some nice groups but you will not see the accuracy you want with heavier bullets.
My opinion, the best test is your experience.
