TMK for hunting?

[Luked]

I have quite a few of the TGK bullets from Sierra.
Has anyone used the TMK for hunting and what were your thoughts on them?
I know Sierra says they do not recommend the Match bullets to be used for hunting.
But I know a lot here love the ELD-M for hunting.
Courious about the TMK.

Looking to maybe load some 175s for my 300 WSM

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

DON'T HAVE TIME TO READ 176 PAGES? HERE'S THE CHEAT SHEET. “Bullets matter more than headstamps.” “Spent primers offer the supreme tutorial”. I’ve read it here and elsewhere online. It got my attention. I started digging and asking questions and listened. The 77gr TMK delivered by a .223...

6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

With the success of .223 and 6.5 threads on big game, thought I’d throw this one into the mix. Show and detail your results harvesting big game (deer, bear, elk, moose, African game) using 6mm/.243 cartridges. Please detail bullet, MV, impact velocity, and whether hand load or factory ammo.

6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

Seeing that the 223 thread is such a success, I thought maybe I would start one for the Creedmoor/260. Seems like people are asking a lot about using them and various bullets, especially for elk. I've used mine for the last few years almost exclusively. I have some pics of bullet damage, albeit...

TMK and ELDM/ELDX are the vast majority of projectiles in all of these threads. If you open a thread, go to search and just search that thread for TMK you will get plenty of answers. Here:

OP, if you have a few years to waste, search "TMK" on this forum. You'll find 13,464 firsthand accounts of kills that range from 10 feet to 1,000 yards on lil' critters like prairie dogs up to the big stuff like moose and brown bear.

Even the little TMKs work great. Most on Rokslide love 'em. The ones who don't either refuse to use match bullets, like to argue more than hunt, or live in a state where lead-free bullets are mandated.

The 175 from a 300 wsm is likely to damage more meat than what I would want.

You should try the new ELMK.

Or is it MKLD?
