338 man, have PM'd the exit pic to you.
I posted in the ballistics sub-forum some speeds/accuracy. 2400fps just happened to give my close to the best accuracy for the 77gr TMK with BM2 behind it. I have more chrono data in work on the PMC as well I'll post it.
Geco is arriving shortly into Aoraki, keen to try it, sadly not as cheap as the PMC was.
Has anybody any experience of SMK's in 7mm and 30 cal on deer?
Here's a typical sort of 5 shot 100 yard group with the tipped Sierra's. I've fired several groups and they have been sort of like this. Load as above.

nice rig and lump of meat :) what twist is the barrel on the .223?
I have always had good accuracy across multiple rifles, calibers and loads with Sierra batch and game kings. If the new tipped match kings kill on then they may well be the perfect projectile.
We use the 65gr Sierra. Cannot fault them.Big stags just crumple.
They are very accurate projectiles.
I put four of the 155 30's into 0.2" the other day
No idea how they'd go on animals
They stone them :)

7mmsaum.
Were you using 7mm SMK?
Interesting, the 77g SMK's shot 15mm groups all day out of my 18"NEA AR (when I had it) but were also slow also at 2500fps. However they were likely to be useless on animals I figured, penciled trough Hares. These TMKs could be the answer for 1:8 and 1:7 twist barrels. The 1:7 NEA shot most lighter bullets 62-69gr OK but not fantastic.
I've shot a few deer and couple tahr with 135 smk out the 270, works great, pretty accurate too
