Are you guys looking for bullets or loaded ammo?

 

[Rooggvc]

I have just wanted bullets. I have seen Stand 1 Armory has some ammunition. I may need to go that route.

Holy smokes that is devastating!! Man I wish I had some of these!!!

Looked like a grenade went off internally. I’m a believer for sure.

I would take either. I have all the stuff to reload but will take anything I can get!!

Could you tell us the rifle ,ammo, caliber specs? I see some guys shooting these from 22 noslers 22-250 and 223 rifles. Maybe get an idea of what to expect from what gun/caliber I’m sure each caliber makes a difference

Grabbed a couple boxes! What speed are you getting from them?

Can’t thank everyone enough for posting results here on this thread.

Amazing what true science brings to the table…literally.

Yes it is a 223 wylde 20” AR. 24.6 TAC loaded out to 2.290 with metal ASC mags. Muzzle velocity is 2810 ish.

I haven’t checked yet.

My tikka superlite is a laser with 75 eldm over h4895. Are the tmks that much better that it's worth trying to find them and work up a new load?

Awesome thanks a bunch this is basically what I was hoping to see lol. Plus I have tons of tac on hand now just need the 77s lol

Well dang, this has been an informative read. I've killed more deer with a 223 than any other caliber, even if they were cull kills on the base I was stationed on to keep them off the flightline. Still, none of them ran on me or were lost. And that was just with 55gr soft points. I'm having a 22CM built off of my Seekins PH2. It'll have an 18" Bartlein 1-7" twist barrel. Until I can get 77TMK's I'll be loading 80gr ELDM's in Alpha brass. Kinport Peak Rifles will be doing the work. I can't wait to try it out next deer season!

why not try 88 ELD-Ms?

 

[Rooggvc]

Agreed. It has definitely been said on this Forum that the 88 ELDM is a bullet to build a rifle around. That's what I am in the process of putting a 22 Creed together for.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

yeah, the obvious choice for a 22 creed is the 88 eldm, for both terminal performance and really good ballistics.

 

[FCCDerek]

That's what I'd meant to type. I'll be running 88's in it. I think with an 18" barrel I should be able to hit 3100fps pretty easily. I've got RL26 and H4350 in abundance for it. Should be a fun long range setup. I've got a Leupold MK5HD 3.6-18 on it now. Plenty of elevation adjustment in that.

Might want to read through this and the other scope evaluations

2x Leupold Mark 5 Field Evaluations

This is a field evaluation of the Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18x44mm and the Leupold Mark 5 5-25x56mm. These scopes were brought to me from Ryan Avery for evaluation. The ammunition used for the 3.6-18x was Federal 168gr GMM, and for the 5-25x was Hornady ELD-M Match 168gr that was purchased by Ryan...

Doesn't matter to me what that says since I've already got the scope. I own 3 MK5HD's, two are 3.6-18's and one is a 5-25. They have performed flawlessly for me. 5-25 is on a 300PRC, one 3.6-18 is on my 280AI hunting rifle, and the other is on the 6.5 I'm having changed over to 22CM. I've had them for a few years and haven't seen any drift from them.
