Thread: 130 Sierra TMKs vs 130 ELD-Ms

Have seen a few guys on the forum with various 6.5s using Sierra 130 TMKs as their go-to hunting projectile. Given the current component scarcity I'm curious as to how the Hornady 130 ELD-M performs compared to the 130 TMK as a hunting bullet, they seem to have a very similar construction except for the difference in the size of the polymer tip with the TMK looking much bigger.

Thoughts/experience anyone?

It’s not specifically the 130s but there’s some good comparisons in this thread.

I no the 7mm 160gn tmk is just about the ballistic twin of the old 162amax I’d have no hesitation using either . Which one can you get and which ones unavailable? Sounds like you can get eldm? If so I’d beat it goes very well

Video belongs to @Flyblown I think? this is the 108ELDM doing what it does with well placed shots

Thanks Magnetite that's a great thread. Doesn't look like there's much between them and ELDMs are easier to come by so looks like they're worth a go.
