Took this sika on the evening of New Year’s Day, high up in the southern Kawekas. 80gr ELD-M at 2750fps. Hit high so took out the spine and dropped it instantly. Due to the steep terrain he rolled a long way down the gut- so he had the last laugh….
I’ve just recently had Jaco push the throat of my Tikka forward by about 90 thou, to suit the ELD-M. Worked really well, I can easily get more powder in the case, so am going to go to 2208 once my 06H stock is used up. Seems to shoot tighter groups now, and the 77TMK and ELD-M can now be used interchangeably. Same POI all the way out to past 400yds. The TMK starts out slightly faster, but with the lower BC averages out the same as the Hornady.
77 tmk will be the next pill I run when i run out of Belmont black, I was listening to a podcast and they have been working very very well by all reports.
Anyone looked at bringing 77 TMK in from the States

My first sambar stag. I shot it yesterday evening while out peacock shooting with Dad. I had just shot at a peacock at 265m when this guy popped his head up in my line of fire. Dad quickly confirmed to me that we had permission to shoot sambar so this poor stag caught a 77gr lapua in the head at 185m from my tikka 223.

Nice shooting.
Great shot. You did the right thing.
Look at the size of the neck on that thing. There's a few sausages in him.
