Good work Tahr!
What was your impression of the TMK on bunnies...explosive or pretty hard?
Please let us know how they perform on deer (no pressure!)
it was hard to tell. None of them were over 140 yards so they were all a bit ugly. No more explosive than the 69 grn Targex, and they go ok on deer.Quote:

I have some TMK, 69 and 77gr 223, have not yet got them to do better than the SMK factory stuff from ADI and PMC. I am 150fps short on velocity mind. Just got some BM2 as I hate compressing powder (2208) and its going to be max loads by the look of it to get there.
What gun btw? ie a bolt action, AR15 or what? Its also a hell of a MV for a 223 69gr...
anyone else find you need to be hot with a 223 and the SMK/TMK btw?
There are no pressure signs and its a fairly standard load for me. Used it previously with same weight Targex.Quote:

This load was with Winchester cases.
I've chronoed the load many times previously with 2 different chronos.
Rifle is a light weight Savage.

:sick:
I have not loaded 55gr or 62gr with BM2 yet, might load a handful of each to try.
