Thanks Form!My man.
Optics planet got restocked on Seirra 77gr TMK. If I didn’t have 1500 I’d probably snag more!Anyone know anything about the 62gr controlled chaos bullet? Probably stick to eldm’s until I can find some tmk, just curious with them being very available
I received my AAC 77 TMK order this week, and upon visual inspection of one box, the acetal resin tip looks slightly bent on some projectiles, and others look like the projectile was loaded into the case slightly crooked. I‘m not sure how any of that potentially affects precision or BC, but I’ll test some in my Howa soon enough.Not sure if I should post this because it likely shows my lack of shooting ability over the raw accuracy of the ammo, but here goes nothing.
AAC 77gr TMK first shots. 10 round group and then the composite 30 round group.
I also shot a 10 round group of Sig 77gr ammo that has shot good for me in the past.
This was all done on a hot & humid Arkansas day with my tikka lite 223 with SWFA fixed 6x.
I’ll likely reshoot groups with this combo just to confirm, because at $.85 a round I’d really like for it to work.
Never seen this guy before but it's cool stuff. Thanks for posting.Thanks for posting that, I’ve now watched almost all his videos on top of reading this entire thread. In one video he pits the 300 Win Mag using a 180gr Core Lokt against the 243 with a 108gr ELDM, that was the one that got my attention the most.
Good stuff, really helps fill in the gaps.
Well guys I read through this and it convinced me to give it a try for myself. While waiting to find some TMKs I purchased some 75gr eldm but have realized they have to be set extremely deep to fit in my AR mag. (shooting Ruger Ranch) Most of the research I’ve done since realizing this says the 75s are a no go in AR mags. Figured I pose the question here before I scrapped it and went down to the 73gr.

Thank you. Until I can source some TMK for hunting is the a recommended comparable alternative for shooting steel through the summer?

77 TMK? If so 1800What’s the minimum velocity for an ethical kill on deer?

I witnessed an elk killed with the 77TMKs at 1440 fps.
