95 TMK in 6 CM

[ID_Matt]

I think there is a thread or 2 about them in the 243, but don't know I have seen one for the 6 CM. I am sure there is a handful of us that got a few boxes with the last run sierra did... who has tested them in the creed yet?? Assume H4350 is going to be the go to powder. TMK's don't seem to be too picky to seating depth. What are we loading and how fast in what barrel length??

I’m using 43.5gr H4350 for 3,135fps MV, 18” barrel.

My tikka is getting a new 6cm barrel right now. I’m going to start with R16 and H4350. I’m hoping to get around 2900 with a 16.5 barrel. @Formidilosus what is your COAL on those?

SWEET. I was using 3,000 in my calculator and getting about 700-800 max distance using 1800 FPS. 3100 would sure bump that safety margin up.

BC of 0.238 close enough?

Everything I have done with the 95gr TMK- four different barrels/rifles and out to 980 yards- has shown a .500 G1 BC.
