    Anything functional would be exhausting to do. Primers are very tough to render inert.

    I'm thinking about loading some 155 TMKs is my 16" gasser. I already load the 155 Nos CC with 8208 very accurate and 2735 avg. With the TMKs they have a G1 of .519. I think this would really be a great combination. Thoughts??

    Our buddy has a sweet 155 TMK load for his gas gun that he runs out to the 1300 yard steel. 155s are good gas gun bullets.

    It looks like the loading company got a great deal on Winchester Military Ammunition (Oxford, Mississippi) 7.62 NATO (Ball) brass.

    That said, it's probably good blaster ammo.

    M118 Long Range and Match don't have crimped primers and the headstamp should be LC, WCC, or WMA "LR" and year with NO NATO circled-cross (as there is no standard LR or Match 7.62).

    155 Tipped Match Kings should also be a darned good round to 500-600 for deer and pigs.

    If these were to be loaded for precision properly they would have been run through a neck-bushing die (for consistency) and trimming before bullet seating.

    The thing they did with the TMK is seat it to mag length so much that the ogive is down into the neck a little. My 308 seating die is set WAY longer.

    Yes, we shot both the 155TMK’s and 175 SMK’s. Both shot MOA. I think they are a good value. Hell you can’t find cheap 6.5 any more. Can’t figure why no one is making 6.5 like freedom is doing 308. So we are banging on 308 a bit more.
