I’m sure this has been answered in here several times but scrolling through 9000 comments is not very good use of my time. Can anyone tell me the estimated low end impact velocity for good terminal performance with the 77 TMK.

I thought the TMK was down lower than 1800 fps. I thought it was around 1500fps to 1600fps on the low end with consistent upset. @Formidilosus you are the expert, and have more on animal experience, would you please correct me if I am wrong.

I am not an expert. However, while the 77gr TMK has shown to upset below 1,800fps- I would still set that as the lower limit for full upset.

I’ve read through most of it but I don’t have the time to go through it again.
