Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[Castle Rock]

A 1.2 MOA 10 shot group, would translate to about a 0.9 MOA 5 shot group and a 0.75 3 shot group. With no load development in a 8-9# rifle I’m not sure what more you could hope for. You could shoot one shot groups and be happy maybe.

These are Matchkings and will see far more use on paper and steel, than flesh.
Hunters really use only a tiny percentage of bullets sold.

If what transpired today with Sierra is real- it’s going to get very cool in the next year or two.


Long story short- the new leadership knows Rokslide, and desires greatly to fill the real demand for what is needed specifically here.

What performance is being sought after that the new tmk doesn’t provide? Genuinely curious

Think full and open testing of everything, much greater cooperation, and much better and consistent supply.

A lead-free TMK. Or a lead-free option with TMK-like attributes/performance.

Looking forward to consistent supply… and maybe a future Tipped RokKing

 

[Dude270]

A regular supply instead of the sporadic crap would be great.

As far as full and open testing, are we talking about terminal performance or something else? Wouldn't getting too specific about terminal effectiveness be a problem for LE and military sales?

Totally agreed on availability.

Hornady posts ballistic gel photos for ELDM projectiles on their law enforcement page, so I don't think it's an issue as long as the OEM states they are not intended to be used for hunting.

Nice! That doesnt suck

So what you are saying is a new modernized version of a partition but with high BC and a tip might be something on the table in the future?

Hopefully not. That sounds terrible.

 

[Junkel87]

I seen a post where someone stated they pre-ordered some of the 107 tmk from a dealer on here. Could said dealer pm me if it's still available for pre-order please.

Isn’t that what the ABLR is meant to be?

How is a standard jacket, bonded bukketbthe same as a Partition?

Obviously not in construction, but as I recall the accubond was branded as being a modernized bullet with partition performance at one point.

It seems to reason that the high bc LR version would be geared towards similar performance but with a higher bc and lower upset velocity threshold. Whether or not it holds true in practice is a different thing all together

That was and is marketing BS. There is nothing about a Accubond behavior that is the same as a Partition.

No matter the end, a bonded bullet that holds weight and frontal diameter is not terminal behaving the same as a bullet that fragments the front 1/3 to 1/2.

I'm pretty excited to try these. Hopefully they'll make it to market before spring bear.
