Yes, I've tried them in 175 grain for the 308.. They work better than the 175 SMK IMO... Here is what I've found...

Weather permitting i will try the 77gr 224 bullets pushed out of a 223 the last weekend of the month alongside the regular HPBT MK's at a 1000 yard match. Wont be a completely fair test as i will shoot one on Saturday and the other on Sunday but should tell the tale. Will report back.
I like them in my .308 Hog Hunter - 42.2 grains of IMR4064 in Remington brass gives me 2590fps and great accuracy.
The 69 grainers work really well in my 12 twist 22-250 and gives me a half minute flatter trajectory at 500 meters. I did have to add a half grain of powder to get the same accuracy as the standard ones.
Only shot on Saturday as i ended up with a fair sunburn Saturday and didn't want to enhance it Sunday. Sorry guys only shot standard matchkings and no tipped ones.
I have the 77 Tmk loaded one @ 2.260" Didnt like what saw. Looked like it will get shoved back in the case.
Yes Black hills makes Tmk ammo,
I loaded up some 69 grain TMKs in half grain increments and shot 3 round groups at 200 yds. today. I found the best load for my 223 was the same as the 69 grain SMKs. I plan on shooting some TMK and SMK comparison loads once I have time. The TMKs are longer and seem to have a slightly different profile than the SMKs.
