Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[Formidilosus]

Notable from @Carl Ross 's results - if factory seekins and tikka barrels, they are at least grouping well with 8 twist barrels at whatever DA Carl had.

So far it looks like an 8” twist will work fine with them, if not fully optimized.

Sand bagger. Didn't say anything about killing an elk with them.

It's not a hunting bullet

Elk shoulder season is in effect till late Feb, they'll kill elk with them before the end of Q1 production estimate. The weather in MT has been a shit show, up down, warm cold, snow rain, all the elk are still up high. 10 days ago, I had 16" of snow in the yard, it's been 40s this week with rain, and now I see nothing but green grass! Wtf!

Looks like TacOps Sauce (Epoxy like devcon or marine tex)

Just one small point to add to this side tangent...

Assuming all else equal (including drag force on equal frontal surface areas), the heavier bullet penetrates further. Changing calibers muddies the waters by changing that drag force, and becomes an apples to oranges comparison that is not "all else equal."

Yes sir. The all things being equal comment is based on the lighter bullet leaving the muzzle at a faster speed (real world) within the chambering.

I’ve probably explained poorly in this thread or mistyped on my phone (common for me).

Bullets impacting and very low velocities can seem to do surprising things in what I’ve seen.

He’s nuts??? On the contrary, how about the people that pay him that for one? They are well made and nice but yeah that kind of $$$ for one is…..
