Just got back from the range this afternoon.
With my 22" howa re-barrel (preferred barrels).
My 115 Tac-tx over ArComp is holding good at 27.2 gr, 2530 MV, 0.630" ctc.
But what surprised me was the performance of the 120 Tgk... using both Ar Comp and Xbr.
AR comp, 27.8, 28.0, 28.2 grs, 4 rounds each.
120 TGK, 2578(sd-14.0), 2594 (sd-5.4), 2616 (sd-7.1).
the 27.8 showed the best grouping, but this is still under test.
Xbr, 27.8, 28.1, 28.4 grs, 4 rounds each.
120 TGK, 2529 (sd-7.0), 2536 (sd-7.3), 2573 (sd-9.3).
This barrel seems to have nodes at 2530 and 2590 thereabouts.
While I feel pretty good about the 115 Barnes load, this 120 tgk will soon take over, since I bought 300 of them.
I'm using fed 205 primer and Starline brass, seating to 2.280. No fcd for the bolt action.
