Thread: Sierra 6.5 cal 130gr TMK and TGK projectiles

Does anyone have any experience using the Sierra 6.5 130gr TMK or TGK projectiles on game .
I realise that the TMK are supposed to be a target bullet and the TGK are for hunting , but often the Match bullets perform well in hunting scenarios ( 77gr TMK in the .223 for example ) .
Ive had very good luck with Sierra bullets in other calibers and I’m thinking about trying some in my 6.5 CM ( I’m currently using 129gr SST Hornady’s which work OK on Chital Deer / Wild Dogs / Pigs here in OZ )
Any firsthand experience of either of these projectiles would be greatly appreciated.

Shot a lot of critters with 107 TMK's from a Grendel and a 6.5x47L. Everything died like it was supposed to. The 130's will do the trick just fine too.

I use the 130 TGK almost exclusively in my PRC and love them, they shoot as well as I can and do the business on anything I've shot with them.

Use em 6.5wsm.. pretty splodey over 3k muzzle.. but i dolled them down to 2950 and they really work super well..
Similar performance to a ABLR but ever so slightly softer..
Won't exit a goat or a yearling at 20m as explode, but exit a decent spiker at 150 through lungs..
Will go thru shoulder of decent sized red and end up in skin far side at 150m and almost shed its core sort of performance at the 2950 speed..

130 TGK at 2650fps muzzle (6.5CM). Kills fine, little or no fragmentation on engine room shots (no shoulders).
