Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[Woodsman44]

I’ll be loading a new 6UM-40 for the first time with these 116’s as well and am probably going to start at 64gr and work up to find pressure.

I shot some 107s out of my 6br sporter yesterday. .030 off the lands with 29.5 grains of varget gave me just over .5 moa 5 shot groups.
I believe more load dev would give even better accuracy, but the bullets seem pretty easy to get to shoot.

I'll give my 6 creedmoor a try with them next. Hopefully the 116s will fly OK in it's 8 twist barrel, if not, I'll fall back to the 107s.

Might want to start lower than that if you are fireforming fresh brass to 6UM40. 64gr N570 is go-to load for the 6UM30

Yeah good point. I’ve fire-formed the brass to 40 already so this will be final load development for me.

And hopefully they keep them in stock. Think they are going to sell boat loads of 116’s.

Did you order them straight from Sierra? I haven’t got a shipping notification for my order is why I ask.

Yep, straight from sierra. Ordered on 3/15. I received an UPS tracking number on 3/16 but it never worked. I figured they hadn’t shipped yet, and then they showed up yesterday.

Interesting. Ordered the 16th but haven’t seen an email on them

I ordered direct from Sierra on 3/15 and sent an email to customer service on when they would ship. Got a shipment notification the same day as my email on 3/17. They're out for delivery today.
