100 yard groups with TAC powder...
#1
For some reason TAC powder has been preforming very good for me...
It works great with 3 different bullets...
Sierra 123 SMK, Barnes 120 Match Burners,and the Hornady 120 ELD-M...
I loaded all of them with 27.7 grains of TAC CCI 450's...
I trimmed all to 1.510 inches and seated to 2.260 inches...
I'm happy with 1 inch groups but these are fantastic...
I'll do more testing when the weather gets better...

Those are outstanding groups. 27.9 of tac @ 2.245 does that for me with 123sst’s.

Thank you...
The burn rate of TAC is almost the same as AR Comp...
That's why I was working up a load with it...

Thanks...The range officer said they are going to open the 200 yard range everyday starting in March...
Right now it's only open once in a while...

Nice, I really like 200 for advanced load development. Groups tend to open more than at 100, giving you more of a clue where to explore but, the wind is not as much of an issue as at 300. Plus it’s easier to see your bullet holes at 200 vs 300! Cool

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for a good use for Ramshot Tac so I'll see if my Ruger Rap in 6.5 Grendel likes it. Most of the .223 loads I've done with Tac have been pretty mediocre.

Another batch of really impressive targets. It does look like your shooting iron likes Tac.
After looking at your targets from the last couple years, I think your 6.5G likes several powders, and bullets.
Keep up the good shooting.

DB,
Are you shooting off a bipod?

Nice I will be trying tac with 123 hornady fmj bullets since I ran out of reloader 15 if it works good will try with SST’s as well. Your results are excellent.

Good shooting! ("No such thing as nice shooting" --from the movie "Land of the Dead"). My 20" BA DMR upper also shoots very well with TAC under Hornady 123 ELDs. 27.9 to 28.2 gr. Rem 7-1/2 primers. I'm a fan. I also use it as my go-to for heavier 5.56 loads.
