Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[alexnelon]

The s2h podcast recently mentioned their cost on primers vs what midway was charging. I forget the spread but Midway really sticks it to you.

That was peak panic pricing though. I think that episode was recorded in like 2022 or something.

Larry has CCI 200's for $59/1000 right this minute where UM has them for $87.

Hazmat shipping and ethics and support Jake and all that, but that podcast has some old data that is no longer true or accurate.

Keep your eyes out for deals -- Midsouth had CCI BRs (both sizes) at $0.05 last BF.

how the tides have turned. Midway is not my favorite, but in this anti 2A world we live in. They support us and im happy to buy from them occasionally.

Saw the BCR email the other day. Wish I had waited to order with them. They've always been awesome in my experience.

Happen to know the muzzle velocity for each?

Slow for both. 2,700fps for the 107gr, and almost 2,600fps for the 116gr. Both were just middle of the upper half of book loads.

Has there been an assessment of the 88gr on critters yet?

What elevation? Be curious how the bc holds up on the 116 out of the 8” at longer distances

Think the 107's will stabilize in a 20" 1 in 9.125 twist?

I’m hoping for 2900 with 107s from my 20” 243 without tossing my brass after 3 firings.

That should be doable. The 116 load I was using was at 2800 fps with a mild load of H1000 in a 20".

What is your elevation?

I would think that’s possible or close to it. I have 112 matchburners going 2780 from a 17 inch 243. Might could push them more but its a great shooting load and does what I need.
