Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[Formidilosus]

Well….

116gr TMK’s are absolutely devastating. Even at mid impact velocities- 2,500-2,000fps, they produce wounds that I haven’t seen since 178gr AMAX’s.

Maybe a dumb question. But are they too devastating? Would it be better to go with the lower weight 6mm TMKs?

Based on how you’ve described the Amax in the past, is it too much of a good thing for general hunting?

Anyone shooting a 6UM for insight on performance at or above 3k fps impact?

Yeah, I might stick with 95 gr TMKs. I don't love the amount of damage from a 77 TMK.

Perhaps load some 116s for brown bear and moose.

Has the 6x45 seen action then?
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this combo.
