Every time I come on here you guys cost me money lol.

Facts

Even better than the 115DTACs in your opinion? Or different use case scenarios matter? I know it doesn’t always exist but looking for the “one and done” bullet for the 6UM and possibly 6CM.

Yes. All the TMK 6mm are better or more what I want to see than the DTAC for most uses.

The 116gr is the bullet for 243/6cm and up in my view.

How about in a 16", 1:8 Twist .243, would a person be better off with the 107's or the 116's? I'm .020 off with the lands with a 2.83" Coal with the 108 ELDM. Seems like any length gain going to a 116 would be stuffed back into the case.

What makes you pick the 116 for the more overbore 6mm cartridges?

And edited to add a follow-up. What use case would you make you pick the TMK over the 108/109 ELDM projectiles?

And would you say the 107 TMK is the bullet of choice for say a 6ARC or a 6x45?

The 116gr TMK is the bullet in 6mm for me.

 

[Formidilosus]

Because it has a higher BC and penetrates deeper?

That’s why I pick it for all the 6mm’s- 243win and up +/-

And edited to add a follow-up. What use case would you make you pick the TMK over the 108/109 ELDM projectiles?

There is no use where I would pick an ELD-M over a TMK for hunting.

And would you say the 107 TMK is the bullet of choice for say a 6ARC or a 6x45?

Maybe. I used the 116gr in a 6x45. But, I think that’s a bit low MV for most. The 107gr and 95gr are great for them.

 

[Lawnboi]

Got 500 coming

These might be thee dasher hunting bullet. I hope. Not sure I have the throat for the 116.

 

[2Stamp]

The 116gr TMK is the bullet in 6mm for me.

Does the Marshall have the room in the freebore to run the 116s seated out appropriately or will they be pushed back in the casing? (hope that makes sense.)

 

[huntnful]

I bought a 500 pack of the 107’s, if 5 more people want to test a little pack of 20 of them when they show up I’ll send them for whatever shipping is (like $12).

I’ll offer the same thing when the 116’s, 153’s & 185’s pop up as well.

I’d like to try some 107’s and 116’s. I’ll pay for a few to test out in my 6 creed

Done. Shoot me a PM titled 107’s or something with shipping info. I’ll get them out ASAP when they show up
