Atomic 77 TMK Factory Loads

[BigThig09]

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this stuff? I found a ton of it available through a distributor, and I’m hoping it’s another viable option for a factory load of green goblins. I love my Black Hills stuff, but I’m always open to new suppliers! I’m hoping it shoots!

But that says it's for "tactical law enforcement." So you can only use if for law enforcement. Or tactics. Or both, I guess.

But seriously, that's interesting and new to me. Post results when you can!

I would use them to tactically enforce the law that old nanny whitetail doe aren’t allowed to blow at me and run the other deer off.

I haven't used that, but had great luck with the atomic 308 nosler loads in my ar10

I think we have finally figured out the secret of a TMK. A TMK…ATMK…ATOMIK…that is why they are so destructive!

You only glow for a couple days after eating an atomically shot deer.

Atomic ammo in general is decent. I never experienced exceptional accuracy, but usually good enough.

 

[Dmr400]

@BigThig09 any reports on accuracy?

 

[RWT]

I’ve shot some atomic ammo and had very heavy bolt lifts with a suppressor on. Never terribly accurate but I would give it a try again.

Shot some of this ammo yesterday and was generally pleased with accuracy. Not outstanding, but OK at 100 yards from my initial testing.

I snagged two boxes, planning to use them for deer in OR this season. Will update if I nab an animal with them.

Update to add that I got a Tikka t3x 20" (with suppressor) and tried the Atomic again. 10 rounds so far and more shooting to come, but it grouped better than in my 22" xbolt (no suppressor). Just got some 5.56 Bone Frog 77 gr TMK ammo to try along with some Black Hills.

Oregon Blacktail down, 110yds one shot to the vitals with pretty typical TMK results. Heart and half the lungs gone, sternum split and two ribs broken. Will admit that the only prep I did was 5 rounds to zero, and a 5 round group of ~1.3" off a railing (longest sightlines on this property are only 140yd so wasn't concerned with really establishing spread). Didn't chrono.
