Hi all
Wondering if anyone would be willing to share a pet load for 80gr sierras in their tikka t3 varmint 8 twist 223?
Taking mine to the range tomorrow for some fun after I fix some ET's

In my Barnard 223 I use 25.2 of 2208 with good results.

24gn of 2208 in Lapua brass with Remington 7 1/2 br primers. This load in a standard Tikka Varmint 1 in 8" barrel using Hornady 80gn Amax. That barrel needs to be throated to best use 80gn pills. Superb accuracy though. Usual loading disclaimers apply.

They were ok for 500m. I never tried any further than that with a stock barrel.
