Did you clean the oil out of the barrel before you fired the first shot , they shouldn't be any scratches in the barrel imo , did you first all 60 at one's , did you wait for the barrel to cool , as the lite barrel will get very hot very easily
-
If your getting the accuracy your after don't worry about the speed , if you get the speed you might lose the sub 1 moa , on my creedmoor I've only checked the speed once I got the accuracy just for dialling the scope
-
Remember it's all personal preferences , I'd go for the varmint in 6.5 better ballistics all round , which ever tikka you decide on its worth checking to make sure the barrel is floated all the way back to the action , and once again get the 6.5 you will not be disappointed

Hi send mountain tactical a email or they might answer through this forum has they run it ??

Water or lubricant in the chamber causes massive over pressure , in my opinion you've had wet cases going into the chamber causing the damage to the case , it could of caused a big problem but you seam to get away with just damage to the brass

Your oal is fine , are the die set correctly , some make of die's need screwing in a little more , check how to set the die's with the maker , if my memory is correct my Lee die's need half a turn more from touching the shell holder , my Redding dies just need to touch the holder
-
Have a look at Tier-one there moderator fits into there muzzle brake , there a great bit of kit
-
Great alround caliber you will not be disappointed
-
Have a look at Sako and federal

I've had a go of all the competion ruger , Remington , Howa the Tikka is far superior in every way and are worth the little but extra , works going to pick up in the next year so one in .260 is on the cards for me next year
-
The twist rate might be stamped on the barrel you also can see when you run a patch down the barrel , mark the rod when it enters the barrel push the rod down the barrel watching for it to do one rotation mark again , when you take the rod out measure between the marks and there you go you twist rate

Hi you must of liked the rifle when you payed for it , yes it might not be as the advert stated but it's still a tikka and it will shoot , if you like it what's in a name , I can't answer about how you stand in law as I'm in England and I guessing your not
-
Hi has long has your happy that's all that matters , over here in England the .243 is mainly a hunting caliber , but with the correct load it will be fine for target / steel plates , if you going to start with factory loads have a look at federal , seen some consistent groups done lately with them

Id contact mountain tactical to see what they have or can get
