If you dont mind me askin, how does the AAC TMK shoot compared to the Black Hills, Stand1, or UM stuff? Velocity? Accuracy? I believe I was about 2770fps with stand1 and 2680fps with blackhills (5.56) in a 16 inch barrel... both submoa in a faxon match pencil barrel. Just curious how the AAC stacks up.
I can only compare to federal and stand1, but for my 16" tikka, it's close enough to not be sure there's a substantial difference. I'm around 1 moa for 10 with all 3, but I don't have a ton of data to back that up. Anecdotally, I'd say my best groups are more likely federal, then aac, then stand1, but I have shot stand1 fewest of the 3.

I just read a short review of the AAC tmk ammo, said 2600fps out of a 16 inch barrel. So, for my purposes a lot slower than the stand1 stuff... which for hunting I feel that extra 170fps gives a bit of an edge if the accuracy is still there... But for "precision" practice ammo, .85 cents a round is hard to beat. My rifle shoots the cheap x-tac 556 well, so I can plink for less than .50 cents a round. I've dabbled with reloading, trying to find loads that I can get the same or better velocity/accuracy as I do with stand1... but have come up short so far. I probably wouldn't waste my time reloading if the stand1 tmk wasnt so expensive... I've just been curious where most folks draw the line cost-wise between reloading (for performance) and just buying premium ammo that is accurate enough and fast enough already. Your previous post about your pre-brass component cost at .70 cents a round was helpful. Even the brass cost notwithstanding, I could see my time being worth at least .20-40 cents a round on top of components if I didn't have to reload to get the performance I was looking for.
Averaging 1.5 MOA 3-shot groups isn’t the accuracy I’d be looking for. What’s it shoot in a 10-shot group?
I’m ready! I drew a spring tag, and my plan is to utilize the youth mentor program (one thing Oregon got right) and get my daughter on a good bear, and send a tmk into him
I wish 223 was a legal elk cartridge here so she could just use it for everything.
When the shorter LOP rokstok becomes available, I’m going probably just get her an 8 twist 243 and suppress it
There is no longer a draw weight minimum for archery elk, but can’t use a 223

Here is the short version of the story:RokStok
Order a RokStok here. https://www.unknownmunitions.com/product-category/rifle-parts/stock-chassis/rokstok/ Thanks to everyone who has reached out about preordering the Rokstock. We are progressing a little slower than we want. But still have a tentative date to ship mid to late December. Once...

The Rokstok is an improved Stockys Carbon VG. Stockys worked with some folks here on rokslide to make some shooter-friendly modifications to their already very capable and budget friendly stock. Before the rokstok was available (and maybe still now) there are some here on rokslide who have made similar modifications to a regular Stockys Carbon VG with success. Here is a link to a post in a thread that has a lot on the topic.

My appologies for the mischaracterization. It was just my impression from the discussions in the 'Stockys VG Tikka' thread early last September that you offered Stockys some suggestions for improving their VG Carbon, and they acknowledged their willingness in that thread to work with you and the rokslide community to make a better stock. It was just a couple weeks later we were seeing the rokstock poll and other threads as the idea progressed. I did not intend to diminish the hard work your group put forth to see the rokstock come to fruition.
Where do you see the title change? When I look I just see bear, deer and elk listed. Just made it to page 370 but hope to see details on the walrus!
