If a rifle doesn't shoot one or both of those well (assuming 7-8 twist) then it likely will have bigger problems with anything else.

I still shoot a lot of 75 Hornady's because they are MUCH cheaper & accurate enough for most jobs, but never as accurate in the absolute sense as the SMK's.

Jury is still out on TMK's, IMO..............for me, comparable on smaller shot number groups, not quite as good as the number of shots / group increases in my trials & what I've also read in testing from other, in particular, MOLON over at AR15.com & on SH as he is basically an oracle.

But still more than good enough for most practical uses.............with improved BC over the SMK.

Ive had good luck with the 77TMK. But after checking velocities, i found them to be running pretty slow. In the 2550-2600 fps. I think it was you that told me i should check the velocities on that load. I was shooting sub moa 10 shot groups from 2 different rifles using compass lake chambers and 20" stainless tubes. Back to the drawing board with those bullets, as soon as i find more.
