Shots fired. T3 338.

I took the new T3 338 (aka Clubber) out this evening and tossed a few downrange. Gotta tell you she roots ya pretty good. Nothing I can't live with. Weighing in at 7 3/4 lbs,I think I'm going to like it from a carry aspect. She bests my 300 Ultra M700 by a solid 2lbs. I like that!

I started with some 225 Hornadys to rub the burrs out of her. I like the 100 cnt box of bullets. Old fashioned I guess. The first 3 shots were 74gr of RL19 and Fed 215 primers. Number 1 went high left and a few adjustments printed 2 more low and center. Switching to 74.5gr of the same powder and primer,and a few clicks "up",we put the 3 in the bottom of the 10 ring. Promising first outing for a light weight magnum.

That is a good start, TT.

Like most Tikkas, looks like a shooter.

my son has a T3 lite in .300 wsm. It does not have a break and it will thump you. Does your .338 have a break?

Looks like you have a good start. I load 200 grain hornadys out of mine. I am a nosler guy but my dad had abunch of the hornadys and they shoot awesome out of my 338win mag.

No brake.................yet.

I probably won't be shooting much over 225gr bullets in this 338. I'm thinking more along the lines of the lighter pills and a little better velocity. I'd like to give some of the monolithics a try in the lighter varieties. Given the magazine length I doubt there would be any benefit to the VLDs or similar.
