this just in. I recently read that 2230 has had some issues in the past with coming from several different manufacturers and different lots will get different results. So, YMMV

They also told me there were differences in TAC and 2520, although they do look very similar physically.
I've had temperature stability issues with 2520 that I haven't seen with TAC, but maybe that has been more circumstantial in my experience vs. a real difference.
I've wondered about the seeming "twins" for some time.
This is the first time I've seen anyone actually post that they are the same.

Steve,
Yes for all practical purposes it’s the same.
Therefore the same loads will apply.

He did tell me in the past that they used XTerm for their loads because they considered TAC a little slow for the bullet weights ideally suited to the Grendel.
It gets more and more interesting!
