Do you remember what the penetration was like at that velocity? I'm guessing no exit?I posted a few pics of what the 77 at 3150 out of a 22/250 does to deer a fair way back in this thread

Spend it while your above ground you can't take it with you when your pushing up daiseys in the local cemetaryThis thread made me get my own reloading equipment. Thanks for keeping me broke.

That's why they have he 24 cal minimumI would bet there is a potential use for that bullet in Washington!
I heard there is a lot of Varmints up there.
we have the same limit in Alberta, but good news is you can get close to this 'do more with less powder formula' with 6mm-ARC or 6.5 Grendel, they burn ~30 grains of powder and are also 'AR Cartridges' and they are the most versatile of all the AR cartridges imo just because you can hunt them on most of the continent but also, especially with the 6mm, the bullets range from down into .223 weight ranges but up over .243 weight ranges too, the 6.5 bullets are more down to the .243 weights and up to the lighter weight 7-08/.270 range, either way .223/6mm/6.5mm have a lot of bullet choices and flexibility, can't go wrongReally wish Washington didn't have a .24 caliber minimum. Would be a great blacktail round.

It’s in the thread somewhere pages back, probably a few times.Anyone have any info on impact velocities? How slow are these still working? I know it’s not exact, but a close guess. Thanks.
Yes, a couple reasons, I want aggressive expansion. In my experience 2k does that. My bullet hits 2k at around 400 yards. Beyond that I feel like I’m gambling when it comes to that bullet from a 223 in the wind.Thanks @Lawnboi. I assumed it would be in here, just didn’t want to do an 80 page search for it.
Your looking for 2k and above? For deer size game?
Any .22 centerfire, for that matter. I'd be real curious to see what a 77gr TMK would do out of something like a .22 creedmoor...

What I wanted to here. Much appreciated.Good upset (read wide) down to 1,800’ish fps. Understand that as with all cartridges, below around 2,000fps wounds will be narrower due to the temp cavity not causing permanent damage.
I do not necessarily recommend using it to this, however I have seen multiple kills quite a bit below 1,800fps impact and the wounds were still dramatic.
