The 77 TMK (see post above rib cage pics) that didn’t make it through the offside hide. There’s no lump under the hide anywhere. Ive had bullets not make it through and bounce inside the chest cavity and find them in the blood by the gut pile. I looked a bit ago and couldn’t find it but it’s been since last night and stuff is gooey and thick even when poking around in it.What bullet?
Mid south has 100 boxes of tmk as well.Pricy… but MidwayUSA does have 77gr TMK bullets and black hills loaded ammo in stock right now.
Less consistent, longer neck, much higher velocity needed to deform, tends to be less explosive at all velocities though the difference becomes more pronounced as it approaches its frag threshold. Generally depends on yaw to initiate upset rather than the more reliable mechanism of hydraulic expansion. Still works for the most part, but considerably less optimized for terminal performance.Perhaps it's been asked before but how does the MatchKing compare to the TMK in the same weights?
Similar or a different animal altogether?
Same here!!Loving all the dead animals on here from the last month or so.
I've got some 77gr TMK loaded up for our antlerless season in 2 weeks. Hoping to add something.......
Read a couple posts back.Anybody getting similar results with the regular 77 SMK?
I don’t see any posts showing similar results with SMKs. Just past experiences that SMKs are inconsistent.Read a couple posts back.
That is indeed correct.I don’t see any posts showing similar results with SMKs. Just past experiences that SMKs are inconsistent.
How was the internal damage? I'm really curious how the 75gr gold dot compares to the 77gr TMK.Since I haven't graduated to TMKs yet, 75 gr Gold Dot. Second picture is exit, you couldn't see the entry because of all the trauma/blood-gel. He made it about 30 yards.
