Help me pick a powder

[colbyshoots]

I'm looking to send some Barnes Match Burners (120gr) down range but need help picking a powder to play with. My brass is all once fired Hornady cases from factory ammo.
Powders I have:
Ramshot Tac and Silhouette
Accurate 2200/2230/2460
Hodgon Lil Gun, Retumbo, varget, H335, H322, H110, Tite Group
IMR 4198

I'm looking to shoot some PRS style matches and would like to work up a load using a powder that isn't very temperature sensitive as the Wisconsin weather has some pretty extreme swings. Let me know what you have worked with and where to start.

Thanks in advance!

Bolt gun or gas gun?

Sorry, it's a 22inch bolt gun.

Thank you. I've been searching high and low for 8208, AR Comp and Lever but have yet to find them in the past couple of years without paying crazy gobs of money.

Are you saying TAC is my best starting point with what I have?

here is the link for the Barnes load data, Barnes Bullet Load Data



I would choose either the TAC or H335. I use TAC in .223 both bolt and gas gun. Great little powder, easy to throw and gives good velocity

Thank you very much. That's where we'll start.

Thank you for that link. Where did you get that from? Nevermind, Found it.

TAC then H335 are my preferences in that order

This is from their site:
BULLET STYLE:

MATCH BURNER BOAT TAIL

ROUNDS PER BOX:100
BOXES PER CASE:10
BOX UPC:71687626401 8
BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT:0.46
SECTIONAL DENSITY:0.245966155

I'm not sure how .46 corelates to the G1/G7 scales. I bought these when 6.5 projectiles were few and far between.


Edited to add for comparison: Hornady ELDM 120 gr. has a G1 BC @ .486

[StoneHendge]

0.46 is the G1

TAC is what I would choose and is what I currently use.

A little update on the situation, found CFE223 and 8208 XBR in stock somewhat close to me. I'll have to go pick them up tomorrow and hope they are still there! I'm pretty excited after searching for a year or so.
