New TMK announced

[Speaks]

the 22 and 6mm would be interesting. I will be excited in a few years when someone is actually loading them in factory ammo and they are in stock.

My RS crystal ball agrees.
It’s a small club and we ain’t in it.
If you’ve been paying attention the most vociferous are already changing tune on many of the old tried and true rs specials.
Few years ago the ELD-M was the “ELD-Murder” now it’s unpredictable.

The caps on the maven are so aggressively knurled you’re lucky if they don’t twist all the way off walking to your glassing knob. Better glove up if you need to dial


Classifieds finna be lit with 77 and 95 TMKs, 115 Dtacs and all manner of Hornady eld bullets. Then if the scope ever hits bar the doors as a flood of Mavens, trijicon and nightforce hit the classifieds.

If anyone has coated NR Dtacs for sale, I will buy them right now.

Cool. Now we need a SAAMI’ed 25 PRC type cartridge or 25-06AI or something besides the 25 CM to use these nice new 25 cal bullets. I’ve done wildcatting and don’t really want to do it anymore.

The 6 PRC is easy enough with a bushing die and the 25 will be the same.

Or, is it factory ammo?

I reload obviously. But sometimes it’s nice to grab some cheaper factory ammo for training, and I get tired of searching for one piece of brass I lost…

If you are going to make up stuff, at least make it believable.

Really- go ahead and show where. All of your points below, pretty sure I was the first to bring them up- a long time before now.

Few years ago the ELD-M was the “ELD-Murder” now it’s unpredictable.

Who coined that name? Go ahead and ask him how long it took me telling him the ELD-M 88gr sometimes failed to upset well before he saw it with his own eyes. And how long ago was the first time that I posted that ELD-M’s in certain calibers/weights don’t upset like they should sometimes- it been at least 5 years.

Where does this even come from? I think I stated that they spun too easily and the reticle ended up being a little too thin within 2-3 months of them being on the market.

You generally post decent thoughts, why are you going weird now? You are literally making up stuff.

I agree, and that’s the once fired 6.5 Hornady brass I reload the 6 PRC range ammo with… don’t care much if I lose it.

I agree, it is nice to be able to grab a box of ammo sometimes. I stopped reloading for .223…

BC ain’t everything…but comparing current comparable products, Sierras TMK offerings lag behind Hornady which at least for me have been “close” to published BCs and shoot well in most of my rigs.

I am guessing even the 153 TMK will just barely best the 140/143 ELDM/X offering at .64-.62 (but cost 100fps or more to push out). Same story with other calibers unfortunately. The Hornady offerings are a bit cheaper too.

Like most I’m happy to see options….but am hoping I’m wrong and these are more slick than current sierras for weight.

Direct comparison 130TMK (.518) to 130 ELDM (.554)

Also, the Matchking-X line (hunting expandable) in .22 cal (77g) could be neat as well.

This better not affect production of the 77 gr

Everything is a trade off. The design that produces max BC in a tipped bullet, also effect terminal ballistics.

We have been sworn to that it won’t. For what that is worth.
