Re: Muzzle velocity from Tikka T3X varmint 23.5"

OK, chrono results, using 32gn Hornady Vmax factory rounds. Couldn't do any more today as its way too noisy for my farms without a moderator, off to the gunsmiths next week to get that muzzle threaded.

Muzzle velocity from Tikka T3X varmint 23.5"

Hi, I'm in the UK, where nearly every Tikka T3 imported is a 20" barrel, I had one for a short while but was disappointed that I was only getting 3850ft/sec (maximum) from 32gn Hornady factory ammo - it was astonishingly accurate though. After a long search I've found a varmint barrelled T3X, w...
