    SO, THE SIERRA TMK DO KILL DEER?

    Dredging up an older thread but was thinking the 95g in 243 may be just the ticket. Has anyone tried them?
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    No. But it would be great if you did James.
    I expect that they will behave like Amax with a little more penetration. I'm not sure if green is a melty colour or not though.

    Its a bit yuk, but here's the rib cage exit with the TMK 69grn .223.

    I may just do that. The 105AMax was an excellent hunting bullet for me in the 243AI but my current barrel is too slow to even bother trying them in. The 95 should go well in the 1:10.

    I ran a little trial of them for the magazine last year.

    ...Shot some deer, shot some goats... They perform a lot like an Amax.

    I have done some load development using 69gr TMKs out of a 16inch AR. Got some good accuracy seated at magazine length. Just need to chrono, once tis crappy weather stops. Be interested to see how they perform on animals.
