My savage #11 1/9 twist shoots 105 grain burger very well, I hand load 95 grain burger classic hunter in 243 has worked well for deer 11 dead in the past 3 years
So the tikka 243 has enough room in the chamber to load the 103's 108's ? Long? Just trying to avoid getting a 6 Needmoor, and I'm already set up to load 243, I'm using 85gr Sierra gameking hp's that work fine, but the concept of the long bullets interest me alot
you cant seat a 108 right out but it might only mean a small drop in performance, you could also poke a long throat reamer in there and switch to a long action bolt stop and mag. There is also the chance trying to reream it will poke the barrel but then you have a good excuse to rebarrel it as you want.
Fantastic episode! Thanks for taking the time to put these out.
