in my opinion, if your happy with the load you are using stick with it, go spend your hard earned money on more 77 tmk,s, if you want spectacular blow ups on winged quarry go to 50 gr vmax I get the right bullet and load and stick with it ,coz you will end up with boxes of bullets on the shelf cheers dave.

Hi I was just wondering if it would be any advantage changing to the 69 grain TMK over the 77 that I am using now.

My thinking is I could push the 69 faster,but would this result in more spectacular kills on winged vermin.

Stick with the 77's if they are accurate. The extra BC against the 69's will give you more consistency in tricky winds and at longer ranges.

69's are gaining a bit of a reputation for being a little barrel fussy. It took me ages developing a load and seating depth that work for my rifle with them and velocity increase over 77's isn't significant at all, so if you have a good load for the 77's, my advice would be to stick with those. Any small advantage in velocity is likely offset by the 77's better BC anyway once out past 200 yds.
