The Harris line is well liked. I've got three and they have served me well. I would recommend getting a swivel top if you can. The 9″-13″ does when when shooting from prone.

So in the case of the .204 you're not worried about ammo prices, but for the 22-250 you don't like the price of the ammo?
If you think you're going to be doing any long range shooting, you may want to consider what the wind does to the bullet. The 22-250 would deflect less than the .223, and the .223 less than the .204.

It looks like the magazine isn't allowing the back end of the cartridge to move up enough. Is the top cartridge rising as high as it can? In other words, is the next cartridge up against the feed lips of the magazine?

Are you going to do something different in the stock department?

I've got an older model that looks like this one:

Sounds good! Hope you have fun with it. I've got a 22-250 that I really like. – Todd

I use a dial caliper a lot during my reloading tasks. If the kit doesn't come with one please consider getting one. If you get a good one and take care of it, it'll last a lifetime.

I'm not running the Berger at the lands. My OAL is 2.820″ It shoots good.

I have a custom .260, (not a Tikka), that likes 41.3 gr of H4350 under a Berger 140 gr VLD. I uses a CCI Lg Rifle primer and Remington brass.
Are you in the US?

Looks like a keeper. I'm trying to improve my rifle shooting as well. I'm still pretty inconsistent. I could blame the rifle, or ammo, or wind, but I think spread out groups are due to me. Time will tell. Thanks for sharing! – Todd

Very nice! How does she shoot?

The “slope up” end of the rail would be toward the back end of the rifle. Think of the crosshair pointing downward. So, then, if you put the crosshair on the target, the muzzle will be pointing upward. Hence, you have to dial in “down” in order to zero the rifle. But then you have more “up” to adjust with.
