Uhhh no. This is replacing an old Howa bull barrel that I bought on a whim that's a 12 twist.Is that a 12ā twist?
Thanks.73 eldm
Donāt feel bad, they got me too. I cannot hunt with my usual rifle this season due to a medical issue, so I finally caved and got one after about two years of back and forth with myself. I think my wife felt bad for me as I was scrambling to rig up an AR for the season and she told me to just go and get it. Couple years of Cabelas points came in clutch.You guys suck. Such a bad influence.

I have Um rings coming tomorrow, hopefully. The old Howa has an SWFA 6X MOA that will be pilfered for the project.Donāt feel bad, they got me too.

How are you setting yours up?

If the UM rings don't make it, I have a Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x42 in UM rings on my kid's Tikka that will be borrowed for temporary service.
Not going to comment on the price, as I have not tracked it in recent timesā¦ but in stock alert for Black Hills TMK.
By case:
Black Hills Ammunition 5.56 Nato 77gr TMK Sierra 2750 FPS 50/box [10 Boxes] 500 Round Case
Black Hills Ammunition 5.56 Nato 77gr TMK Sierra 2750 FPS 50/box [10 Boxes] 500 Round Case | FREE SHIPPINGwww.aeammo.com
And per box:
Black Hills Ammunition 5.56 Nato 77gr TMK Sierra MatchKing 2750 FPS 50/box
Black Hills Ammunition 5.56 Nato 77gr TMK Sierra MatchKing 2750 FPS 50/boxwww.aeammo.com
The magic number for free shipping appears to be $250. Godspeed.
That's my plan. I have 50 rounds of Black Hills TMK coming today and I'll pick up a box each of 73 ELD-M and 62 Fed Fusion and see what the gun likes best. Those should all do the job if I put them where I should.Having just bought a few boxes of this ammo from them, 4 boxes will get you to free shipping. I'm resisting a case until I get the ammo tested to make sure it's loved and groups acceptably.

I feel like I asked this and just missed the answer or flat forgot, how much weight retention are y'all seeing for these 77gr tmk's in animals? It doesn't sound like the round is spoiling too much meat so the frag can't be too crazy.
What was the damage like? When conducive, I like neck shooting deer and nothing Iāve seen in this thread tells me itās a bad idea with the little 223Put another doe down last night with the .223/77 combo. No pics, it was nothing special. 65 yard shot in the neck, dropped in her tracks as expected.
