Has anyone compared these Bone Frog loads to the BH?

The Bone Frogs claim 2750 but don't specify a barrel length. I get about 2700 out of my 18" Tikka with the Black Hills. Hoping they are close.

Do you get an extra discount on the bonefrog tmk if you do the membership? I did not see that they keep 6mm creedmoor ammo in stock. Hard to justify membership when you can't see the benefits. Are there be edits on the case of 500?

I’ve got some good data there. 35 rounds of Bond frog 77tmk. 20” tikka stainless barrel. 2747fps average velocity. 44fps spread. STD dev. 13.6. Done at 82 degrees.

Acceptable accuracy I assume?

About 1-1.25 moa in my tests and 15 shot groups. Completely acceptable. Not some kind of extreme tack driver.

@h2so4 , you have any comparative info on this?

 

[Chris_in_Idaho]

The 70gr TSX is relatively unique in the mono world. It was not designed for max penetration. Very common to catch them on the offside.

Do they get a noticeably wider wound channel than typical monos?

Thanks. I'm hoping for someone who has shot both from the same rifle. I have some Black Hills and paid $1.38 ('23) and $1.45 more recently, and they are currently going for ~$1.50. Maybe I need to just get some Bone Frogs - for science.

@Bluumoon, I think he’s done some comparisons of ammo from the same the same rifle.

Please be patient with my ignorance. Can I shoot the TMK 5.56 ammo through my .223? The internet is telling me .223 in a 5.56 is fine but not the other way. I've been shooting the 73gr ELDM but I'd like to try the TMK. I don't hand load and no one ever seems to have .223 TMK loaded. Thanks

Absolutely it’s fine. As is common, the “internet” is wrong.

 

[h2so4]

@fwafwow ive got some comparison. I’ve posted them previously but if you send me a message I’ll send it all to you.

Short version- The black hills is faster and the bone frog groups almost as good as black hills, maybe equivalent.

Negative on the BH

For every 223?

I know it's fine in the Tikka T2X

Never heard of that one

Depends how the throat & leade are cut.

I would say any quality 223.

I'd edit my previous response but that might lead to confusion.

I mean if it’s loaded to SAAMI length (2.26”), it works

Yeah I just had to give you a hard time! I knew what you meant
