I had been eyeballing the AAC 77 grain TMK for a while. I almost bought their 75 grain black tip since it was in stock. But I got the in stock notice for the AAC 77 grain TMK ammo last week. Bought 750 rounds to which cost me less than the 500 rounds of Black hills 77 grain I purchased back in January. I’m going to start this thread to talk about accuracy and QC as well as see what other people are experiencing.
Opened one sample box - one round had several dents in the casing. Another round would not allow me to close the bolt when feeding (tried magazine fed, hand fed etc). That’s just one box of 20. I know it’s cheaper than the other factory options but the initial look isn’t the best.
Compared to black hills- can’t tell a difference in overall length or brass quality. Bullets look the same. Box velocity states 2700 (we will see what I get out of an 18in tikka). I’m hoping this serves as a solid option to the black hills considering it’s .86 cpr. But I suppose we will see when I get it to the range to group it and shoot it at distance.
More to follow.
