Haven't used any TMK's yet.. Just some standard ol IMI 77gr.For what it's worth, I use 77gr TMK on hogs/deer with devastating effect. It's a fantastic round, much better than the older SMK.
Never had one fail to fragment out of a short barre
77gr TMK and 50/70gr TSX are what our JSOC guys are using overseas out of 10.5 inch barrels if that tells you anything.
The rokslide thread posted below has over 100 pages of guys using 77gr TMK on everything from hogs to elk. Incredible ballistics.
.223 for bear, 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...rokslide.com
.
As far as the Barnes though, I like the 62gr TTSX a lot. They do a number on hogs! Wanna get ahold of some of the heavier Barnes LRX's..
All my other Small frame AR's are 16" and under, even when im shooting at 100 yards im almost always shooting one of my 6.5CM's. I just wanted a small frame that was fun/cheaper to shoot and if need be I could take her out to distance.
Don't any of you pretend you wouldn't smash that.
Just got in from test driving the new .223, for just the first round of barrel break-in using Black Hills 55gr FMJ she's showing some promise. I had a random Magazine with five rounds of Black Hills 77 in my shooting bag and it stacked them pretty well, looks like it's gonna be another shooter.
