Tikka T3 and .223 ammunition

[Nipp45]

I purchased a Tikka T3 in .223 over the weekend and absolutely love that thing.  I took it to the range yesterday and fired about 20 rounds of cheap ammo to break it in. 

The question I have is, what factory ammunition have you guys had the best accuracy with out of this rifle in .223?  I do not reload and realize that better accuracy would come from that, but I want to know what factory ammo and grain works the best for the T3 in .223.

Any shared experience would be greatly appreciated.

Mine seems to shoot all the quality ammo about the same. I have shot Black Hills 77gr BTHP Match, Federal 69gr BTHP Match, Black Hills 50gr. Vmax, and Federal 40gr Nosler, with the same results....all one hole groups at 100yrds.
 The only difference is the point of impact changes.

 I settled on the Black Hills Vmax as I use the rifle for coyote hunting and it does a great job on them.

 Here is my .223 and a 5 shot group at 100yrds with the Black Hills 50gr Vmax ammo.

Take care,Stan

Where do you purchase black hills ammo?

I order all my ammo online. Graf and Sons, Midway,etc.

Do you know any other online stores that offer black hills, other than midway?  They are sold out right now.  I performed a google search but didn't really find any hits.

thanks

 Hey There
 Mine shoots most anything well that has over 50 gr pills in it,the absolute best factory stuff for mine is the Hornady  I'm not sure but I think it's their Tap ammo,I'll look when I get to the house.
