I have played with the TMK and didn't find that it was worth the extra money spent. If I were shooting at a competition level, where 1/8th MOA would make a difference, then maybe that would be the bullet of choice.

Nosler is introducing a 77 RDF which hopefully will shoot well in an AR chamber. The 70 RDF shoots great in one of my 223 bolt guns, where I can seat the bullet into the lands, but I think the ogive is too sharp for the long jump to the throat required of an AR.
I’ve had good success with that load as well. Good to know about the TMK. I’ll probably order a few just to try. Thanks
