Barrel length?

Tikka T3x 20” barrel

I use N135 with the 130g TTSX. 20 inch barrel gets me 3000fps and good accuracy

Excellent results, can I ask what your load data is? usual safety caveat, different barrels etc, curious as I’m looking a this very combination.

100 yards, works well for me I don’t tend to shoot anything further than 200

Its really quite slow for a 125 gr bullet though.

Pretty sure it was 45.5 grains and a 2.850 COAL. This is over max according to Viht but is safe in my rifle but may not be in yours etc etc

It’s 130g works perfectly well with no pressure signs

Still quite slow, there’s powders out there that will get you comfortably north of 3000 fps with a 130 from a 20”.

But if it’s working for what you do, why change it!

I use both N135 and N140 for my .308 loads. For my deer (rather than target rifle) loads, I use N135 with bullets up to 150gr, but my favorites are the 126.5 Yew Trees and N135!
