Cousin has a 22DTI which is the 22-6.8 improved and it doesn't beat his 223AI.

I'm liking the idea of the 77TMK and can't wait to try em.

Stuart that runs Old Virginia ammo has told me the new TMK is a great hog and deer bullet.

Tell me about this 2.3" magazine if you want to give hints, otherwise I'll stick to my 22-250AI.

Can you get us some descriptive reports of the damage and penetration, etc?

I myself won't have any descriptive reports till next year but Old Virginia has some articles on their Facebook page. I believe Stuart has been hunting with the mk262 for years (hogs) and he says this bullet opens up more consistently.

welcome news. I bought some 75gr Hornady Amax for a new AR, and quickly discovered it wasn't gonna work at 2.25" mag length blush

More than 2 of us run amax at mag length in the AR15. Fugly ammo, but works wonders...

I've shot some amazing groups rapid fire like that... once at Nationals at Camp Perry I came up off the 300 yard line rapid fire group and the coach had be calling the shots good, I got up(irons mind you) and said, I dropped 2 shots. I forget which direction by now, I have a photo somewhere of the group. One just barely and the other pretty fair. Meaning out of the 10 ring. He laughed and said you are perfect on call but they are barely out of the X ring... 8x-100... and they laughed when they saw my ammo to start with...

Yep several buds ran the 75 amax at mag length for 300 rapids and they flat work. As does the 80 sierra MK ...jumping 200 thou or more. Like Rost mentions not pretty but they work
