First time loading for a Tikka

[geneinnc]

I lucked out & found a Tikka T3 Varmint .223 with 20 rounds through it. Any help on the reloading setup would be nice. Here's what components I have on hand:

Federal Premium once fired brass
CCI small rifle primers (only thing available)
55gr Vmax
Berger 70gr VLD Match
Sierra 80gr HPBT Match
Varget Powder

I also some factory ammo from my AR
Hornady Tap 70gr
FC Nosler Balistic Tip 55gr

I don't have the rifle yet to check the throat length. Barrel is 1/8" Twist, 600mm/23.6" ? long

I was told Bergers do well against the lands?

First time loading a Tikka just to let you know

I don't need loading data on my AR, just the Tikka

Thanks
Gene
