Just had my .223 Varmint rebarreled with a barrel from Bartlin with a 12/1 twist has I shoot berger 52 gr match bullets , I’m well pleased sub 1/2 moa without testing just had 50 or so old rounds made up from the out 5000 + used barrel , bang .3 moa ,

Hi have a look at a little bastard if you’ve got a threaded barrel

[Larkin]

Not tikka/Sako but have a look at Spuhr they do some mounts for a tikka / Sako , there’s expensive but in my opinion worth the money

Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with N5’s you just have to be aware when your getting to the high end of the case capacity

For 77 grain smk’s I use Vihtavuori N140 the N5 powders are double based and can give slightly more pressure

One of the advantages of Uk gun law is since our lass dosn't have a fac she cannot have access to the gun safe , if I need another rifle I just take two gun bags out but only one with a rifle , return home with a rifle in each bag , also most times on a Saturday when I’ve been to the range she’s at work , so the rifles are cleaned and put away before she get home

The only things that come to mind is there was some dirt on one of the  brass cases , or some of the cases were just brass washed steel

Hi and welcome , hopefully the posting on this site will pick up has it’s been a bit slow

[Larkin]

Good to hear , my Tikka is / was a super varmint , now slightly modified  , if I’m doing my bit it shoots .25 moa

[Larkin]

Looking good

[Larkin]

Your doing just fine , the bottom line is as long has your happy that’s all that matters , just glad to see a post posted that I can answer

[Larkin]

Hi the tikka rail isn’t that bad but saying that I’d change it for a mountian tactical / trie-one or Spuhr one as for the mount , if your budget will let you go Spuhr , there expensive but when you see / get one you can understand why , ever so slightly cheaper Trie- one also well engineered , has for height I’d get the lowest that will fit your combination , as for added moa on the rail or mounts , just run your data through a ballistic calculator and see how meny moa you need to add at your 1000 yards , for me if it says 30 moa using a 0 moa rail ,(just using any number just to show you) and your scope is zero at 100 I’d go 20 moa ether mounts or rail or a bit of both , this is just how I’d do it other people might disagree but there wrong lol

Glad you like it , 6.5 creedmoor is my favourite round , shoot mine from 100 meters out to 1km
