Sierra 116 TMK Load Data

Gotcha

Right? If you cut the carcass in half with the skin still on that makes it easier to pack out whole.

No packing out where I hunt lol. Drive the side by side up to & throw it in. Not much sport to it. Ill shoot TF out of pigs with this load though

Anxiously awaiting my Tikka 6 creed from UM. To pass the time I have been reading all the posts and now Sierra’s load data. When it arrives, I think I will chop it to 18” and from what others are posting, it should be getting 2750fps with the 116 TMK at max load. Has anyone chopped one yet?

I’m getting 2708 with H4350 out of a 16” PBB, 7.5 tw.

I could push it a bit harder, as I don’t have any pressure signs even in 95 degree conditions, but I prefer the better safety margin.

Another question to those with Tikka actions,

Thanks for the fast reply, that’s great news. I’ve considered going to 16.5” but am a bit nervous if the factory barrel is slower. Once it is shot out, I plan to go PBB.
