Experience with Creemoor 223 77gr TMK??

[Darren D]

I received an email today from the CMP. I’ve bought a hand full of WWI and WWII treasures from them over the years. They announced their 30 year anniversary sale today, including 30% off on much of their estore items.

What peaked my interest was their Creedmoor Sports 223 Sierra Tipped Match King 77gr 200rd, 30% off for $154 no s&h. $0.77/round to my door. Nice!

I’ve shot other loads of Creedmoor sports with very good to excellent results. Before I make a bulk order I was hoping you all could share your experience with this load?

Thanks in advance

About 100 fps slower than black hills. So pretty worthless if you’re going for performance.

Worthless seems like a pretty heavy choice of words if your use case keeps them above the velocity they need

I stand by it as a comparison. It’s a value play, not a performance play.

Of course it’s a value play, it’s half the cost. The question is if you’re actually missing out on any practical performance by losing 100fps with the same bullet

Thanks for the input gents.

To clarify my intended use, 99% of all bullets will be at targets, for practicing hunting scenarios. My real question is do they shoot well?

Send me the link. I’ll buy some with you at that price. I buy bone frog at $1/ and it’s 100fps slower and shoots great.

Double price isn’t worth 100fps IMO.

Just noticed they are selling Creedmoor 223 77gr SMK for $0.56 a round for purely target…
But here is the link to the 223 TMK’s.

The Deer I shot with, the .22-250 walked on for quite a while before,.. collapsing !
Fortunately, I was on a Hill above him and was able to see him, lay down
IMO,.. a .243 Win is Minimum for Deer and that's the Beginning Caliber,.. in MANY States.
