    This may be wishful thinking but has anyone seen a BC for this bullet user derived that's higher than advertised? They're cheap as hell right now at $165/500ct. The BC has me scratching my head and google has turned up nothing. When i did google there were preliminary results by Litz for the .22 and .30 cal variants that ended up have a higher BC than advertised. I wonder if the trend for the 130gr TMK is the same?
     
    I've shot a bunch of them over the last 1.5-2yrs. They are extremely accurate but they are chunky. They shoot around their advertised BC for me

    Damn that is disappointing. I want to start shooting TMKs in some of my rifles after seeing Corbon using it for their MPR lineup and seeing what it looked like after ballistic gelatin, it seemed to be a solid comp/hunting hybrid. Though thus far the ELD-M has filled this role in my short 6.5x47. For now i guess i'll stick with the ole 130gr Hybrid.
