    You need to use lighter bullets , your twist is not the correct twist to stabilise the 69 heads try between 50 and 55 bullets

    The trouble with 5.56 brass is that it's thicker than .223 , so when you load the bullet head it might be expanding the brass too much
    Don't be tempted to fire a full blooded 5.56 through you .223 unless is been chambered for the .223/5.56 has the 5.56 produces another 10,000 psi of chamber pressure over a standard .223

    When you test the Nosler's , when you find a good load try seating the bullets at different depths to tighten the group up even more , in my Creedmore I got the best results seating them .02 from the lands

    Start low then move higher if need , you won't damage anything starting low , but you can damage stuff by going high

    If it was my rifle I'd remove the material that's stopping the barrel being fully floated

    The best powder for any 6.5 is H4350 if you can get it , but I've had good results with Vith 150 for the lighter loads

    I'd say it would , there the same action on the T3 and the lite it's just a different barrel

    I'll give everything a measure tomorrow case length / bullet length / oal when made up etc and post it up , but you cannot use my creedmoor as a bench mark for your Tikka as my Creedmoor is a full custom stiller predator action and the bottom metal is one that takes AI mags ,
