Preface: (I did not favor one load over another)
All tests were done without bias between the three different bullets. All testing was done at a distance of 100 yards. Fifteen minutes from start to finish during testing and fifteen minutes of cool down between testings were established. Temperature was 47°F and winds were from the east at 7.2 mph.
The initial baseline testing was done with my Savage M10.
Test results are as follows. #1: Sierra 168grn TMK =0.7135" . #2: Hornady 168grn A-Max =0.6080" #3: Norma 180grn Vulkan =0.7125"
The follow up tests were done using 7.62mm No4Mk2 Enfield.
Test results are as follows. #1: Sierra 168grn TMK =1.1765" #2: Hornady 168grn A-Max =0.6205" #3: Norma 180grn Vulkan =0.8930"
My finalized finding is that,the Vulkan with a 12 grain difference in weight and a flat base is more accurate then the Sierra TMK and the Hornady A-Max has the flattest trajectory and tighter group then both the Vulkan and TMK. The Vulkan in my opinion has a better grouping from both rifles and stayed consistent during both testings...![]()
