I keep reading conflicting reports on using a 1/8 for the TMK, saying it doesn't "quite" stabilize it as well as a 1/7 and can have some problems past 400 yards.

Looking at a Criterion 20", wish they made a 1/7 just to soothe my nerves.

400 no problems. 20" criterion.

400 no problems. 20" criterion.

Wow, nice thanks!

Three years in a row, 75 gr ELDM filled my tag. This year was 277 yards, first shot was rushed and I destroyed the liver (but didn’t puncture the gut). He didn’t like that but he didn’t drop right away so I put the next one in this neck.








He went about 6 feet. Very clean carcass, almost no bloodshot. Both bullets exited.

Getting me psyched up I’m really looking forward to my white tail hunt in SC at the end of the month. I plan to use my 223 for most of the hunt. Have to vet my 95 grain TMKs as well before I head to CO for late season rifle muley and doe antelope.
