Freedom Munitions 77TMK Ammo

[bmicek]

Anyone have experience with Freedom Munitions 77 TMK ammo? I ordered some to try but I don’t see them talked about often. I’m always in the market for budget friendly match ammo that shoots well.

All depends upon your expectations, I perfer IMI Razor Core or Black Hills for value. The FM I shot had more fliers than I want. Had some good groups, but many that had a flier and a good group as well.

FM also advertises 2450fps, that is slow if you want any distance.

2450?! Do you know barrel length on that? I was around 2850 with TAC out of an 18" barrel. 2450 is abysmal

It's Freedom Munitions. Abysmal comes standard.

I do not, maybe even a typographical error.

I doubt you're wrong. Recently did a precision rifle class and a dude brought a 16" AR with an LPVO lol (its all he had). His 77SMK factory Federal was running 2500fps out of his(via Labradar). Anything past 500-600yds was pretty tough with that. He was around 8-9mils elevation at 700.

For comparison I was running 80SMK's at 2980 with 4.4 mils elevation at 700.

Sample of one, posted for reference:

•BHA 5.56 77 OTM @ 2736av for 13 shots per Labradar

•6.7mil @ 700y

•AR-15, Rainier 16" MTN bbl, 75F

YMMV,
