    Did you have any success with N555 and the 140gr ELDM in the end? I'm also struggling with making a load that is fast enough. I have posted the details here and below in m/s (all are 5 shots beside 41.5 & 42 where my Magnetospeed gave me issues)

    Already at max capacity of the brass (Lapua SP). SD is ok as you can see. No pressure signs yet. 26" inch barrel (proof Carbon)


    p.s. I understand German but my German writing (I'm Dutch) is not that good.

    Nice shots for 300m!


    I did not have much luck with exactly this same configuration.


    I see you use AOL of 71mm, did you try longer? With 0.03" room to the grove's I have a AOL of 72.1 with a Scenar 167

    Tyfoon- after your pdf- I investigated again and found this sparepart catalogue.

    In this pdf it mentions both sizes- now I am confused.

    I think and hope your muzzlebrek will fit.

    If not you can blame me!

    regards Reini

    Haha! I still think it's 5/8 24 as the barrel is only 20mm and I can't remember that there was so little cut down at the crown (would be just 1mm down from 20mm) when I put on the original muzzle brake.


    I will post here as soon as I have it...

    I can understand German (so please reply in German) but my writing is a bit poor so in English;


    I have tried many different loads and few bullets (Lapua Scenar 167, Berger Hybrid 168) but have settled on below for my Tikka T3x Tac a124" in 308:

    39.2gr VV N140

    Hornady ELD 168gr

    Lapua Brass

    Large rifle primer CCI200

    AOL 72.4 (!) (with Hornady ELD I can go as far as 72.7mm)

    Magnetospeed measurment on avg 730m/s with SD between 1.9 and 2.5 consistently


    Consistently (80% of groups) <.5 moa / <15 mm @ 100m


    I have a question to you guys; I want to order a new muzzle brake (mundungsbremse) but I'm on holiday so I cannot measure my threading ; The manual of Tikka mentioned M18x1 but on all the websites it says the threading is 5/8x24. Is any one in the situation that they can check for me?


    Thanks
