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.

Thanks for that.

Question, what barrel length are you running? Bolt or gas gun?

This was my thought, lots of folks seem to like the shorter barrels. Running BH through a 16” should* be comparable to running this ammo through a 20” if the 100 fps holds and the rule of ~25 fps/inch, no?

Alright, just going for it. Ordered enough Creedmore 223 TMK to get me a divorce if she finds out

Shipping looks to be $8.95 no matter how much you buy.

What brass is it? Noticed that they also had 308 Win and 30-06 with Lapua brass. Is the Creedmoor 223 brass Lapua?

Grabbed 400 rounds of this "worthless" ammo. Good find, thanks.

I believe the Google said it’s Lake City for these

Black Hills 77gr TMK vs Creedmoor Sports 77gr TMK-How they compare in an 11.5" SBR > Ammunition > AR15.COM

I've struggled to find much real world data on Creedmoor Sports 77gr TMK so I recently picked up a box of it to compare to the excellent Black Hills 77gr TMK load. The Creedmoor load is significantly

Those SMKs are basically at my cost of reloads. Good thing my brother owed me some $.

Google said it’s Lake City

The creedmoor TMK i got last year is in starline .223 brass.

I chronographed some today. Ranged from something like 2560 to 2615 from a 16" barrel. For comparison (since my chronograph might be inaccurate) the 73gr ELDM .223 factory ammo was 2590 to 2610, almost same POI.

Starline for the lot I received a couple weeks ago.

Any reason to go with tmk over smk for training?

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.

Nice…

Practice like you play.

Any reason to go with tmk over smk for training?

If just for training no. If you also wanted a round to hunt things, the TMK serves both purposes.

Just got two cases of bh77 tmk so just looking for the best cheaper option to train with.
