For those loading the tipped sierras, what do they like for jump ? I plan on starting at .020" off like I always do. Just curious if there was somewhere they preferred to be or whether or not they were sensitive to jump or not.

Loading the 90gr gamechanger in a 243AI.

That's the bullet and cartridge I loaded. You might have to drill out your seater plug a little. Mine was deforming the tips because they're so pointed. Didn't see a buck so don't know how they perform on game. They shoot good and accurate

How was load workup on them ? Details on the rifle ?

 

[Buckleman]

Remington 700 BDL stainless 24" barrel. Easy work up

Cool, mine is an older 700 vls that was ai'd. Factory 9.25 twist.

You used staball 6.5 ? I'm tempted to buy 8lbs of thst stuff. It covers a couple cartridges I load.

I've shot the 77tmk and 130tmk in 22cm and 65cm, both seemed to shoot pretty well 25-35k off touch. I have no experience with tgk. 130tmk is pretty short in a saami 65cm chamber. Not much bullet in the neck, it's more suited to 120fb chambers. These bullets are violent on game, put it behind the shoulder on vitals and stuff dies very quickly with massive wound channels. The 77s punch way a over their weight class when above 2200fps.

Pulled my barrel to check max overall and seated one about halfway down the neck. Dropped it in the chamber and it didn't stick.
