Black Hills 77gr TMK - Yummy

[loadsandlattes]

For anyone looking at factory ammo for their AR. This was a 20 round magazine with about 3 seconds in between shots. The grouping pic was a 4 round group at 100yds with a 2.5-10x scope. The pig was victim 1 of 3 today, around 135yds, and proof that 5.56 fragmentation rounds do not grenade on “super tough armored” pig shoulders. TMK pills put it down!

Where did you find them in stock?

Gosh, I don’t remember. I purchased about a month ago online. I use ammoseek and kept my eyes peeled daily searching for it.

That’s great performance! What barrel length are you running?

@h2so4 can usually hook you up. Drop him a line.

It’s a 16” barrel. Honestly, I was pretty surprised too. JP knows what they’re doing - every rifle I’ve seen that they’ve built flat out shoots.

I had reached out to him last week. I’m on the wait list.

Good stuff. I keep hearing Black Hills is right at the top for quality and performance for 5.56. Need to get some myself.

Update:

77 TMK works great on prairie dogs too. Ranges were from 150-450yds. The sweet spot for the p-dogs to come apart dramatically seemed to be somewhere in the 225 yard range, around 2200fps. I’m guessing I shot 35 or 40 yesterday afternoon.

Picked up an RRS TFTC-33 tripod and wanted to try it out. Gorgeous day, a nice 10-15 mph breeze, and loads of fun.

More from this morning. Three were DRT around 250yds, the other two both took two TMK’s at 480yds.

Only one exit from the bunch of them.

Man, that’s awesome to hear! If you’ve got buddies there still, tell them to keep pumping it out. And let them know we wouldn’t be mad to see a 7PRC TMK load….
