Looking to pick up a Tikka in either 7rm or 300wm and shoot factory ammo out of it as far as it will let me (500-800). The real intent is a rifle for elk that realistically I hope not to shoot more than 400, but with the proper practice, be prepared for more. I get a good deal on Hornady stuff, cheaper than you could reload if for probably, so here were my thoughts:
7rm shooting 162 ELD-x factory loaded precision hunter
300 shooting 200 ELD-x factory loaded precision hunter
I've read about the tikka's twists being a little slow and the mag being short. Would these work? Which way would you go? Obviously if they don't shoot I will have to try something else. Any other suggestions on factory ammo for either of these?
If I'm way off base and should go a different route on gun, or caliber I wouldn't mind hearing that either.
