Terminal performance: 69tmk vs 77tmk?

[sierracharlie338]

Sorry I know this is an old thread but would the 20-30% loss in penetration be a deal breaker on large white tail and mule deer. I know the 77 is ideal but I can’t find any 77’s or gold dots or 73 eldm’s. I’m picking up a 8 twist tikka varmint this week and I’m looking for a bullet for targets coyotes. I probably won’t use it for deer this season because I would prefer to get more trigger time behind the gun befor I commit to deer with it but next season it is a real possibility. The 75gr Hornady bthp is another option I can find but I remember you talking about them being fairly inconsistent

Based on experience posted by other hunters the 69 seems to work decently well just not to the extent of the 77. Would be ideal for paper/metal/yotes IMO.

Thanks a bunch but I haven’t found a store yet that will ship from the US to Canada. I did manage to find a place in Canada finally with some 73gr eldm’s in stock that I can try out for now
