Any leads on 77 TMK coming back in stock?

[Duh]

Does anyone know a production timeline or ETA when the 77 TMKs might be coming back in stock? Can’t find any online or in stores.

@h2so4 has the Black Hills new production 77gr TMK for sale. Solid dude to deal with.

Yeah I saw that. I’m trying to load them for a 22-250 so I’d prefer to not pull apart a bunch of bullets.

Mid south has 75gr black tips for 0.20 each, not a lot out there on them, maybe you could help w that.

I have some of those 75gr black tips on order right now. Can update once tested if you would like?

 

[Duh]

I just got off the phone with Sierra and couldn’t get an answer on the next batch of 77 TMKs being made. Sounds like they didn’t expect them to run out so fast the last time.

I’ve never heard about that 75 gr black tip but maybe I need to look into them. I thought the 73 grain ELDM was the second choice behind the TMK?

Depends on your application for the bullet.

I'm rocking some 75gr ELDMs until I can find some 77TMKs. Sounds like I might just need to come to terms with the fact that I'll be hunting with the ELDMs this year.

Keep an eye on Precision Reloading, they charge a little bit more but have stuff. I got 500 there in May.

The Midway USA "Notify Me" button costs me lots of $$$ too. I've had stuff come back around over a year later.

I found a box at Bass Pro yesterday.

I have 69s locally but no sign of 77s.

I recently reached out to Sierra on their website and was told that the machine is not set up to make them right now. They said it would be the end of the year before they started production again.

I suggest everyone kindly reach out as well, maybe enough emails will get that machine set up faster lol

Here is the response I got back from midsouth.

“I can tell you that it isn’t a TMK though. The construction and jacket profile is more inline with a very popular varmint bullet being made by one of the largest bullet makers in the USA. We’ve been hearing from people that they’re having great results with them for both target and varmint shooting.”

 

[tstith]

It's definitely not the TMK but it's an affordable in stock bullet that could fit your application.

Anybody have experience with the PSA stuff? Accuracy or velocity?

I just received 400 rounds of the 62 gr and 75 gr black tip 556 AAC ammo from Palmetto. On the itemized receipt, it mentioned "75 Vmax 556" and "62 Vmax 556"... leads me to believe Hornady is manufacturing these for Palmetto and Midsouth.

I actually haven't shot groups with either 62 gr or 75 gr variants, but while shooting rock chucks and prairie dogs a few weeks back, the 62 gr ammo had similar POI as my handloaded 69 TMK (out to 250 yards or so). Minute of P-dog without checking zero was good in my book, but I'd like to test them out at the range soon to actually measure accuracy and velocity out of my CTR 223.

Try Creedmore sports and palmetto

Just for clarification, are guys shooting these in their tikka 223?
