Sierra Heavy TMK 6MM Testing

[huntnful]

bet nobody shows up!

You probably don’t have a well shooting rifle. I’d meet anyone local and bet them $10k my 10lb 6 creed puts 10 105 Berger’s under 1.5”.

Wouldn’t even hesitate if anyone is in CA and “wants to take my money”.

This was this morning.

But was the terrain novel

Had my barrel chopped down to 16.5" this week.

Shot a quick ladder with 3 charge weights and settled on 40.5. Loaded 10 to confirm accuracy and zero. Lost around 60fps dropping down from 18"

Can't wait to hunt with it.

Was this a 243 or 6cm? What COAL did you load them to?

That’s bitchen brother. Sweet compact rig. And shooting excellent also.

There was a tall blade of grass between me and the target acting as a diversion. So yes IMO .

Clearly wasn't "on demand"

It wasn’t lol. But I’m banking on me not 4Xing my dispersion on any given day lol.

Did you end up messing with the 116s? I just picked up a 307 in 243 with the 1-7.5

No, I haven’t yet. Work has been out of control. Hope to get some tie off here in a month and get to it.

Dang! Good shooting

Interesting observation on a small 15ish lb hog in the TX Hill Country. 18” Tikka 6 ARC, 107 TMK, bout a 75 yd shot, 2540 impact velo. Pics are screen grabs of a vid so quality is lacking but here they are.
Shot was taken from the top of the Can Am buggy so entry is a bit higher. Obviously not a full necropsy.

I assume that is the exit side? Did you cut that open, or walk up to it like that? I also assume with the placement and size of pig it was bang flop?

Exit side, didn’t open her up. Exactly as wound was when I approached, jacket was fully visible. Little ones are like ants at my place. I’ll kill a bigger one before long, necropsy interests me more in that scenario. Just thought it was cool the jacket stopped where and how it did. Bang flop indeed.

Did you accidentally take a 6.5CM instead? Looks like what all the facebook experts depict as it's terminal performance..

Lol, that exit wound is about what most of them claim the entry would look like with a 6.5
