    Same thing happened to me first time. Use the edge of a desk and pull hard then twist.

    I found JBM  bullet length lists and stability / twist rate calculator on internet. I was inquiring about Federal Trophy Copper 180 grain. Too new of a bullet  for any bullet length data but from what I've gathered it's the same as the older E-Tip. 1.464 inches. Minus plastic tip length.  I entered the data and 1:11 twist will provide adequate stability for my shooting limit (300 yards). My rifle is sighted in at 1″ high at 100. My groups are always about 3/4″. Yesterday I shot 2 rounds at 275 yards and had 2 perfect holes one inch apart 7 inches low which is very close to what the ballistic tables say it should be so I am happy.

    Leave it alone. There is no advantage to changing the stock at this point. Make sure scope is mounted properly and action screws are proper tightness. It will shoot very accurate as long as you do your part.

    Info on action screw tightness is sketchy. 35 inch lbs. is a good number to start with. 40 in. lbs sounds good. 60 is damage territory.

    Tikka Shooters Forum favicon icon 1 Bullseye

    Any premium bullet from 150 to 180 grain will do the job. As long as your rifle likes it and your shot placement is good.

    Action screw tightness also has a lot to do with accuracy. The difference between 35 inch lbs. and 38 inch lbs. can bring your group from 2.5 inches to 3/4 inch.
