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!

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.
