Sierra TMK vs TGK (GameChanger)

This site has actually been one of my main "blogs" lol. You should be able to go through all of my threads with this link:

But I'll try to compile a list of what I've done as well.

OK thanks just kind of making sure you didn't have data elsewhere that I may overlook.

Well, I also have a few others that have already contacted me and are sending things. So I might have to take inventory after that and get a current list. I can try to make a list that has what I currently have, plus what I know is coming. It'll just take me a bit as I don't have time at the moment.

Sounds good. Holidays are coming. And I know time is a hard commodity for most. Especially this time of the year with hunting starting.

Yep. Sports, school, work, testing bullets, load development, getting things ready for the upcoming season, scouting, setting up cameras, checking cameras, putting out stands and blinds, family time, and then cutting up bullets, melting cores, measuring everything, writing it all down, making posts online, etc, etc, etc .

I went straight to Europe and then Korea right out of high school (military) and then got married and starting having kids as soon as I got back stateside. So I never got to experience much of doing this kind of thing truly on my own lol.

Just as I prefer the Amax over the ELDX, I also prefer the TMK over the TGK. Animals hit with either tend to drop faster.

My experience and preference reflects yours.

Now do you have test subjects needed for the coming ? Just off the top of your head. Or is there a specific one you may not have ?

There are SO MANY bullets out there, the list for what I haven't done and don't have might be longer right now.

At the moment, I'm not sure what I'm truly missing, and after getting what I have being sent my way, really leaves a whole lot that really NEEDS to be done. So it might come down to what people might WANT to have done. I'm up for suggestions. I'm struggling to think of what I'm missing that's a popular bullet used out there, but I'm confident there are still some left.

That really is the question. "What is popular out there" ? With the lack of components available. And the cost if you do find them. Kind of hurts everyone right now.

I received a care package today from a very generous member here. Lots more bullets to add to my current database and that will be shared here in this forum. I've used and tested quite a few of these in the past, but that was before I was really documenting things like I am now, so it'll be really great having these samples to add.

Yes, these happen to all be less core bullets, but I've done several mono bullets too and and wanting to add as many of them to the database as I can as well. I do believe I have a few more different mono samples coming in the future too, which will be great.

I'm truly grateful for all the support I get here! It's pretty amazing. I have another package coming tomorrow with more bullets as well.

I'll do my best to get these cut open, measured, photographed, and posted for everyone to see as soon as I can. Fall sports, hunting season fast approaching, and my day job will take most of my time, so bear with me.
