Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[BjornF16]

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.

Did you try the 116gr in your 6XC?

I would do that and send some 116s back your way when I get them to see what shoots best

I’ll be buying a box of 116’s also. But happy to send 107’s.


All 5/5 test samples spoken for. Whoever gets them should post up how they shoot if they get the chance!!

I have 500 on the way as well. Tracking shows I’ll have them before the weekend. I’ll probably just load up a couple dozen with the same load as the 108’s and see how they compare. I’m shooting a 1:8 .243 cut to 16”.

I’ll post how they compare on here as well as well as the load data.

The 100 counts still show in stock for me.

Sweet thanks i got some ordered

Even with an 8” twist?

From what I’ve seen, yes.

 

[Formidilosus]

Oh yeah. Most of the shooting has been with them.

Anyone have any suggestions for starting powder load for 6 dasher, alpha brass, varget and the 107 tmk?

You typically can’t go wrong with 30.5-31 grains of varget in a dasher. Pick any charge weight in that range and get to shooting bugholes. You can probably run a little higher if you’re chasing highest velocity.

The only thing I miss about living in Iowa is how easily I could just shoot as many does as I wanted. No idea at the time how good I had it.

Northern WI woods hunting you earn those does lol

The effects of that are showing up. We see 1/4 the number of deer from 5 years ago and live in one of the counties with the highest deer densities. A lot of the other counties are really hurting. They're still selling tons of tags though, so guys are still killing piles.
