[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 108575, member: 704"] Is the Tikka barrel large enough in diameter to thread for a suppressor? I have a Browning stainless A Bolt in 300 WSM and if you load it up it kicks the snot out of you. Currently I am loading it with the new Hornady 178 ELD-X bullet at a little over 3000 fps. It shoots that bullet the 180 gr Nosler partition, and the 150 Hornady SST very well. It's picky and will not shoot under 3/4 inch with any other bullet. It's also picky on powder and likes R19 best. I have not shot Tikka, but have owned Savage. I thought I would make a comment on weight since you mentioned it. Hope it helps some. Edit: With the short case which also has a short neck bullets over 180 gr in the 300 WSM start to loose efficiency. I have read in other places that it's efficiency peaks with 180 gr, so that's what I shoot. No more of the 150's for me. The velocity is up there and the recoil impulse is more punishing than the heavy bullet. [/QUOTE]
