From left to right:
107 TMK, 116 TMK, 112 MB, 109 ELDM, 108 ELDM, 103 ELD-X

Looks like the 116 has a similar bearing surface to the 112 MB. Ought to be able to run that 116 at 3050-3100 out of my 18” 6 PRC. Yes, I’ll have my 6mm be an 8 MPH gun

I feel bad for you guys that are DA poor.

I know, we just have it so rough. Right at 1,000 DA where I live currently

 

[Grizzle]

1000 would be sweet haha.

I ordered a box of the 116 yesterday from Sierra. They shipped it today. Gonna try them in an 18” 6 creed

 

[BearGuy]

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

I’m in the same boat

 

[brockel]

I’m in the same boat

Probably an hour after I posted that I got a shipping notification

I ordered the 15th, sent them an email today, and they said a week or 2 they would ship

 

[IrkedCitizen]

Backordered

Ordered 116s on the 16th, got them on the 19th.

I aam curious as to whether or not the 116's will stabilize from a 8 Twist at lower DA? Looks like there are a bunch of users with 1-8T 243's. waiting on their results

Couldn’t help it, had to snag a box. Might load some up just to see, but I have over 4k other bullets spoken for in what I hope are my last two 6CM/243 barrels bc I’m leaning towards 6ARC hoping the barrel lasts much longer.

But, might load some up and do like a velocity snapshot or something with H4350. Can so H4831SC & StaBALL 6.5 too if anyone wants.

Would love to see where you hit pressure using a 116 with 4350 and sc in a 243

I ordered the 15th, sent them an email today, and they said a week or 2 they would ship

When I ordered the email said it was awaiting payment at first then the payment came out the day after but no email about shipping confirmation.

Got my 116s, put in my rifle build.

Terminus Kratos Lite
PPB 18” 7 twist (hopefully this is right?)

Interesting to watch this thread. It’s like a line out the door of an Apple Store when they release a new iPhone. Meanwhile, I’m picking up the 95 TMKs that are now in ample supply.

Ordered some 116 gr tmks and a 7.5 twist 6mm barrel to be chambered in 6cm. Trying to gather some data here on length to cut it at if I want to be comfortable on velocity to 650 yards. Expansion velocity similar on these to eldms at 1800?
