I have a long Waters' mag but only load the 77 grn TMK to 2.3" oal which fit in a standard Tikka .223 mag. They shoot superbly and I expect that they have quite a jump. The TMK are designed for use...

Unlike the 162 eldm 3000fps the 180 works well up close due to its extra weight. Great out far too. Haven't used the 175 to be able to comment
