    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    It was shot in an area with dark soil that was freshly cleared, so visibility was poor. I looked pretty intently for blood and couldn't find any in the 20 yards she went.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    77 TMK whitetail doe quartering away, around 125 yards. Entry behind left shoulder, there was some sort of exit out the front, and jacket was found in the opposite side hide if I recall correctly. Made it 20 yards and piled up. It did some pretty gnarly stuff to 5 ribs as it passed through, so...

    Threading Tikka 223

    Cut my tiika .223 to 18" and threaded 1/2 x 28 with an adapter to 5/8x24 Roksett running a Hyperion K. Don't regret it one bit. Also the adapter makes sure there is adequate shoulder for the Hyperion K. I'm using the Rexsilentium adapter, its $18.50.

    @Formidilosus for resizing do you mess with bumping the shoulder x amount, or follow the die instructions for set up? What's your process for setting the die?

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    Here are some photos. This is with the Mountain Tactical bottom metal, but I believe it's the same with the factory plastic ircc. As far as if it's common or not, I have a sample size of one. When I ordered it over the phone, they let me know this is how it would be. You may call them and ask...

    Let's See Your Semi-Custom Tikka Builds

    I do like it for more of a sporter style hunting rig. AG said I wouldn't need to bed it, but I did not find that to be true. I was already planning on bedding, but it was a MUST. the recoil lug had about 1/8 in play in either direction in the channel they cut. The magazine bottom metal will be...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    All with ELD-X 143gr 6.5 creed. All deer were approx 100-125 yards, recovered 0-40 yards from the shot. Exit: Exit: Exit: Entrance. Exited out the front below the neck, did a backflip and done. First shot at 100, follow up at about 175. Don't remember shot placement.
