New .223 - feeding suggestions

Duck's hoop

Well I just got the nod for my T3 Lite. It took under 2 weeks so fair play to those in charge.

Anyway I was hoping for suggestions on fodder for it. It's 1/12 twist.

Cheers in advance.

Any particular calibre?

Give us a clue which calibre and what you hope to achieve with it and we'll help, I'm sure.

1/12 55grains work well for me(remington though), so do 40 grains

I thought most Tikkas were a faster twist in .223?

From the Tikka homepage -

.204 Ruger 12"
.223 Rem 8"

...hence my confunglement...............

It's .223. I specifically ordered it in 1/12 after much deliberation. They don't manufacture them in this twist any more but mine's deffo 1/12.

I basically want to hit bugs and corvids out to 250-300 yards.

Dealraíonn sé go raibh mé as láthair as Éirinn níos faide ná mar is féidir liom a shamhlú.

Conas is féidir teanga a athrú go tapa!

Geallaim go ndéanfaidh mé iarracht agus a choimeád suas.

Tá sé brónach a admháil go bhfuil go leor daoine anseo nach féidir eolas cothrom le fiú mo náire droch-Gaeilge, níos mó orthu.

Mar sin, beidh orainn anois ar ais chuig an teanga Béarla chun cabhrú leo amach, créatúr bocht go bhfuil siad.

Most of us over here shoot heavier bullets in faster twists - typically 70-80gr in 1:8 barrels.

No, I'm not one of them, more's the pity, I'm already over my limit in the county I live in. We have some strange 'interpretations' of the Firearms Act here, too.

I try and seak cuplá focal as gaeilge gach lá
But many have no interest here in the native language.

Romantic ireland's dead and gone, it's with O'leary in the grave ;0

I'm getting a 1/10 Trueflite barrel soon all things going well to digest up to 68~ grain rounds to increase my distance capabilities every so slightly yet being able to still use my fav 55grain Hornady moly.

My cousin uses 40grain in a styer manlicher to good effect too, not sure the twist though without googling

Lads keep going and you'll get a ban

Poster Tackleberrywho was not the first person to bring Irish into this thread yet you had no issue with that.

So why report him and not the originator of that line of conversation?

Lads I am sick of coming into threads to see people having a go at this particular poster.

I took offence to the "Republican" quote used, O'Leary is best left out of things in here :rolleyes:

It was a line from September 1913, one of Ireland's most famous Poems & poets William Butler Yeats. If quoting an Irish & world renound poet is wrong I apologize.

If you are not familiar with the message it is about how things have become undone when started with the best of intentions.

It is a metaphor for life, and sometimes my threads and posts, as they were started in good faith but ended badly.

I apologize to all posters and readers on boards for having to read all these Way off topic posts.

I had made an assumption that most were familiar with the quote, as the poem was on the LC syllabus 12 years ago when I was in school.

I did not think it was Non PC as a result.

I can't understand why Irish would.
It's our native language?

Leaving Cert Irish is nothing to be proud of IMO. A lot of us have it

We can all use Google translate too

Not what you said in the reported post

Now this thread is closed I'll allow a fresh start. The next thread I see that descends into this type of school yard willy measuring will lead to infractions and bans.
