New TMK announced

[Formidilosus]

The 107gr TMK did well terminally down to 1,717fps impact in deer. No surprises.

Just picked up 500 107's hopefully they shoot as well as the ELDM 108's are shooting for me.

What are you’re current thoughts on the 107 vs 116’s in a 16” 6 CM for my use case up here?

Both may be more than you want with tissue damage.

Looks like the new 25 cal TMK is 134g. should be a good weight bullet to make powerfactor with

Snagged a couple boxes of the 107s from Midway. Looking forward to trying these out.

I got 1 box to see what my 6 arc likes best, 95 vs 107. im betting it likes the 107 better if the factory 108s are an indicator. will see.

Curious to see what kind of velocity you guys get out of the 6mm ARC with the 107s. I’ve got about 1500 95gr tmks left but I’d definitely consider some 107s.

I appreciate that! I’m pretty happy with the 95s in my current rifle. They poked some holes in prairie dogs for me today. Rather dramatic impacts, 107s would be fun to play with.

Interesting info from the Sierra marketing person about impact velocities:

" I talked with Colby Adamek, the marketing manager at Sierra, about this and he told me that the MKX might well be the ultimate long-range hunting bullet. The velocity impact window for expansion is very low, 1500 fps officially, and perhaps even lower in reality. He said that this is the “softest” bullet they make, meaning the bullet that expands the easiest of any in their product line."

An Official Journal Of The NRA | Hardware Review: Sierra MatchKing X

Sierra MatchKing bullets have been setting the accuracy standard for handloaders since the Truman administration. Now, they have redesigned their classic MatchKing bullet for hunting, with a softer lead core, tapered jacket and a skived nose to help it expand. They call the bullet the MatchKing...
