95g TMK

[Deleted old_dood]

30.5g Varget at 200 yds of a bipod. Left to right the jump is .050, .070, .090. I've always been a little hesitant to jump that much but I believe, with a secant or hybrid ogive, you're selling yourself short if you don't at least try. The 95gTMKs ogive looks a little different than a regular tangent ogive so I believe it's a hybrid. I've got a new barrel on order for my Savage 12. Don't know I'll be changing it right away.

I moved out to 0.200 and went from 0.35" to 0.10" groups. I am not sure why this happened other than the bullet is using all of the neck for alignment. I am going to try this with some other bullets as well.

Nice shooting..6BR?

yes.
savage12 with a 7.5t Pacnor barrel. The barrel looks rough with pitting but no fire cracking and I've given up trying to get the copper out. I'm thinking between 1500-2000 on it.

My 8 year old daughter is shooting them in a 6BR 8" twist and my wife was shooting them in her 6BR 8"twist till I switched her over to 105 bergers. They shoot great! 31grains of RL15 is getting 2975 out of an old spencer barrel @25" and 31grains of varget was getting 2950 out of 25" bartlein. They shoot nice out to 1K on steel...

curious what your OAL is.

95TMK oal is 2.30" base to end of tip.
105berger vld "hunting" is 2.320"
These aren't base to ogive they are total oal.

that must be quite a bit of jump in a typical 6BR barrel for the TMK. My freebore is .094. I just loaded ten with a .120" jump and the OAL was about 2.37"
