2750fps 77tmk in a 16 inch barrel

I had great accuracy with 77 TMK in the Shaw portless 16” with Leverevolution. I was right at 2750 fps, it was stout.
I went with a little more mild load of AR Comp that replicates AAC 77 TMK velocity of 2565

22 ARC ULUL is shaping up. Have a 10x SWFA on it for now. If this load repeats and confirms at distance I’ll put the PA 5X Microprism I just picked up from Optics Planet.

75 ELDM, going over 2800 hoping for 2850. Chrono was fighting me with some grass blowing in the wind so no readings on these 5 shots. I know I’m over 2800.
If this repeats I have terminal velocity to 650 yards.

I have been running the 22ARC for 1 years now and I am truly impressed. I have only run the 88gr eldm through it and took a nice spike at 305 yards. It performed perfectly! I am going to test the 80gr eldx on some hogs after thanks giving. Once I build an ul ul, I might need (2)! One in 223 wilde and 1 in 22 ARC. Most of my hunting is under 200 yards so the 223 is more than adequate... but I sure do like the 22 ARC!

I'm averaging 1.5" for 10 shots out of my .300 Ham'r. 16" Wilson combat barrel, 130gr Speer Hot Cor, 2.5-10 SWFA UL.

I did, however, just switch out the scope for an SLX 5x microprism. That's dropped me down to 4lb exactly with 5 in the mag. Haven't had chance to shoot it yet.

Really interested in that round. What made you go with it?

really interested in this round as I am a big 30 cal fan. What made you go this route? Thanks

Well, I already have a fantastic shooting .223 & the places I hunt where an ULUL would be incredibly handy have a .243 restriction for big game & at the time 6x45 super light barrels were almost unattainable.
I got talking to @Thegman & it sounded a lot like the Ham'r would be great for Wyoming elk while also being the perfect woods cartridge for hunting the hills around here. Lots of good bullet choices, up to 150gr, easy to load for with plenty of data to work from & since I don't suppress it made more sense to me than a Blk.
