107 TMK in 16” 6.5 PRC ??

i will say that sierra's data is wrong about coal on the 107's! about .100" past the boat-tail is all the would seat in the neck if using their data. i'm not sure about the tmk's, but the smk's are wrong.
 
It would be a screamer for sure, and a big fire ball flash when fired. But your going against the grain, so to speak with this idea. Whole premise of the round is to shoot long ,high BC bullets at speed. Want speed? Shoot a 124 Hammer Hunter, you can get about 3300 using them, they are long all copper bullets.
 
it will be suppressed 100% of the time. I have a 22" prc already so I have the long heavy bullets covered. This will be a dedicated night gun with a thermal on it. I want short and maneuverable. The hammers aren't out of the question I show 69 gr absolutes in 22 creedmoor and 16? Absolutes in 300 wsm. I just have a bunch of the 107's from a 6.5 Grendel I had.
 
16.5", 1-7.5 twist, Proof Sendero is what's going on this one, 22", 1-7.5, proof sendero is on my other one.
 
That bullet is going to grenade very shallow penetration. Good for varmint, not for game. 130tmk would be a better choice.
