New TMK announced

I’m excited for these and happy to see Sierra stepping up their game. Hopefully they shoot as good and are as consistent as Berger’s in accuracy and flight. I also hope Sierra can keep them on the shelves.

Yes to all of that! I hope the 30 cal. 220 gr. compares well with the 215 Berger.
I know I don't "need" a 300WM but hey, I need to justify having it.
I am wanting to try the 22 cal. 88gr. as well.

115 bergers and n570 is gonna be about 3125fps in an 18". H1000 and n565 were between 3040-3060fps.

When you run the numbers vs a 105-108gr and the added speed the bigger pills just don't buy you much functional yardage. They can't catch up to the medium sized pills going faster till way way out there.

If starting from scratch on action and components the 6prc makes the most sense for that 50-60gr case capacity but if you've got a standard bolt face the 6-284 is a lot of fun. I had big stock pile of 6.5-284 lapua brass from the covid days, 6.5-284 dies, and a standard bolt faced action so the choice was easy for me.

That’s faster than I would have expected. I picked up a nice used stainless .308 tikka a couple weeks ago for a donor action and I’m trying to decide what I want to build off of it. I had planned on building a 6 PRC at one point in time which is why I was thinking about just building a 6-284 with this rifle.
