Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[Hurley88]

What is the fastest MV loaded with a heavy 6mm bullet like the 108eld, 115dtac, or these new Sierra 107/116TMK (a reliable and accurate load) has anyone found for a 16" 6mmARC? Is 2550-2600fps unrealistic?

Yeah…gonna be stuck with CFE223 & Lever but it’s doable. Max loads of H4895 might get you around 2575, max loads of Varget a bit less. Loaded to bolt action pressures. If a gas gun I wouldn’t know off the top of my head.

That’s with 103 ELD-X or 108 ELDM. Don’t know about anything heavier.

First 5 shots with the 116’s avg 2700 fps. 18 inch 6 creed 1-7.5 twist.

What's that loaner under the bullseye all about?

Thatsalotta lever!

What’s your OAL?

I like to party. I’ve got 1.751 CBTO and 2.392 COAL in the load notes on my phone.

Lol. I didn't mean to sound sarcastic that time. I'm legit curious if it was a flyer or intentional after a zero adjustment.

I had a group do the exact same thing yesterday. 2nd shot was off from the group. Idk if it was me or the junk barrel lol.

That’s just normal. “Flyer’s” just outside the main cluster are just your group showing you how it actually shoots without cherry picking or blaming random stuff. Accept it and life gets easier lol

I'm going to load up some the 107s for my 21in 7.5tw 6gt this week and get testing them. Will prob start 60k off and work up with rl15.5, rl16 and maybe H4350. Wont have my 116s till early April, those will all get set aside for the 6SAW.
