In need of 77 Grain Sierra TMKs
- Thread starter USAFRet
- Start date
Finally gave the American Bullet Co. 77gr Tipped bullet a try. After installing a different scope I shot some older factory 223 cartridges to get on paper. Using some promising loads that I had already tried with a different scope, I started fine tuning the load and new scope.
I reduced the original 8208 load by .2 gr. and set the oal to 2.255”. This is my last 5 shots. The first 4 almost went into 1 hole and I must have jerked the last shot which opened the group to .6” at 100 yards.
The rifle is a Tikka T3X Lite Compact 223 with a Burris 4.5- 14 scope.
