Dang that is a good load/good velocity with the 77tmk... 2725fps was near pressure signs for me with the 77smk and the components I'm using in my 20" CTR.

Thanks for catching that. It was the Black Hills 5.56 load so higher pressure.

I haven't chrono'd any factory loads. But, in my 30-06 t3x superlite, I'm getting and average of 2850fps with 180gr Speer hot cors and a h4350 charge that is 0.80gr above speers max for that combo. No pressure signs other than occasional slightly flatter primers

Tikka barrels are super accurate but in my experience a little slow which doesn’t matter most of the time.

I agree with that

I had a Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor punched out to 6.5 PRC. The barrel was also cut down to 20” and threaded. With factory Hornady 143 Eldx I get 2777 FPS. It shoots very accurate, like sub .5 moa.
