6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

I know of the David Tubb & Sierra 115 DTAC but thought that had no tip. Was it a one-off?

6mm 117 grain DTACs–First Look « Daily Bulletin

Superior Shooting Systems has released a new 117 gr DTAC bullet, designed for 1:7.5 or faster twist barrels. David Tubb advises these 117s require at least .040 more throat length compared to his 115s. Robert Whitley got some new 117s and he told us they look very impressive: The 117 gr bullet...

Holy heck thanks @amassi

Definitely everyone email bomb them. Any time I’ve mentioned something that requires more than 1:8” twist I haven’t gotten a warm reception. Who knows? If they get tons of emails maybe they’ll see the light.

But I will say they get tons of requests and they’re all across the board. If there was a concerted email push for a 107 or 110 TMK in 6mm, they’d be more apt to listen. It has to be something people can shoot in readily available factory rifles. Baby steps. Once they see that there’s a market they’ll likely go further; but they’re already behind the times as is.

Agreed. It appears their 110 requires a 1:7, which I didn't know.

I will be emailing them about a tipped 107

After reading several threads about the TMK, I too am searching for the 6mm 95gr for my 6x45 bolt gun. Might try the 130gr 6.5’s in my CM.

I’m looking to add a 6mm of some flavor over the winter. Researching now…
How does the 95 TMK compare terminally to the 108 ELDM, and / or a Nosler 95 BT?
Thoughts on effective velocity window differences would also be greatly appreciated.
TMK External ballistics looks to fall between the other two.
I’d think giving up a slight B.C. edge for improved terminal effectiveness would be pragmatic???
