SIERRA 22 (.224) 77gr BULLET TIPPED MK 500/bx - Graf & Sons

Sierra has enhanced a segment of the MatchKing line by adding the acetal resin tip, thus crowning the Tipped MatchKing (TMK) bullet line. The major advantage of adding a tip to the bullet is the reduction of drag, producing a more favorable ballistic coefficient. Another benefit is reliable...

Anybody loading the 77 tmk over ramshot TAC in their 223 tikka?

I just got a tikka 223, so excited to be on this journey. I’m assuming people are loading to 5.56 velocities/pressure since tikkas are CIP 223? Just for grins, I dropped my 5.56 gauges into the chamber, closed on the go and didn’t on the field and no go.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

Yes, I and many others are using tac with 77 tmks

What was your starting load and where did you end up?

 

[ResearchinStuff]

24.5 works for a lot of guys. I had some cratering at that yesterday in a custom barrel, 85F ambient. Hogdgon book max is 23.7 I think.

Based on their data on the website, they do have a full grain difference between the 5.56 and the .223 book max. Since my tikka chamber passed the go/no go gauges for 556 and it’s a European CIP gun, I should be good using 5.56 data right? This is a new one for me.

 

[ResearchinStuff]

I've used 556 data and shot factory 556 in the factory tikka 223.

 

[ShootOkHuntWorse]

24.5 grains of Tac to mag length 77tmk. 2833fps factory barrel.

So I'm looking to put a Tikka and SWFA package together by 2024 deer season. I'd like to take my AR out some this year though, so is the consensus here that the 62gr Gold Dot/Fusion load is the best option that will fit in a standard AR mag?

Not worried about distance at all, my shots here in NC are all less than 100 and usually less than 50 yards.

77 tmk was originally made to be loaded to mag length in an ar iirc.

62 gold dot/fusion is a great bullet and will do very well

Interesting. I don't have dies yet for .223 but I'll have to do some reading up on that then and checking what actual OAL I can make work.

2.26" COAL works great in my AR with the 77TMK.

Some people say you need small base dies for semi-autos, but I use standard Redding .223 dies and have never had a problem.

Thanks. Maybe a precision AR is more in the line of what I want to go with short term then.

I had a guy at the range tell me he switched from a bolt 223 to an AR because it hit em harder.

I stopped going to the range not long after that.

That’s because you get the assault factor with an AR, a bolt gun you are relying on terminal performance alone

Big game seasons are open or going to be opening in the immediate future. PLEASE post your experiences here! Promise you’ll be impressed with wound channels and shootability!

I got screwed by sportsman warehouse so I’m back on the prowl for a rifle… checked in after 5 weeks into my background check and they said it was normal and they didn’t want to even look into it for me… checked again at week 9 and was told my background check expired and nobody called me or anything… I will never step foot in there again, no offer to do anything to make it right, and an oh well attitude at best

Now I have to find another one somewhere else, and deal with this state’s stupid background check once again, so I’m just waiting until my go to gun store can find one because they would never treat someone like that

Will have plenty of ammo to shoot when I get my .223 at least (glass half full)

I planned on filling my blacktail tag with the 223 this year but it doesn’t look like it’s in the cards considering a background check is a month in this state

I live in a state with such high potential that’s absolutely crippled by horrible politics

Got a Big 5 sporting goods store? Rugers American ranch rifle is a pretty good deal, at least mine was, everyone who has shot it has been pleasantly surprised by its accuracy.
