I normally use target for my 69gr 223 loads. As of late it has been impossible to find a big jug and the 1lb cans are 57$ or so . Bought a 8 lb jug of tac for 295$ delivered. Tac meters better for me , won’t get to shoot it for a bit . Doesn’t have that varget smell I like
IMR 4320, I think, is the number of it. It's not to far off from varget. I got several bottles of varget I bought and not using. I bought it to use in my boys 243. They both don't hunt much. I have used Tac in my 204 ruger and 223 rem. It's hard finding the right powder. For my new 280 ackley improve. It's a 1@8 twist. So, I'm planning on trying Hornady ELD X 175 gr. And ELD M in 180 gr first thing.
I have used tac with very good results, 175 smk, win brass,win SLR primer, 42.5 grains, O.A.L 2.850, crimped, shot from 24"varmit contour barrel savage 1/10. Tac is a little temp sensitive, I have taken the round let it sit in the sun and it spiked a bit. My preference is varget but I will use Tac, 1/2 inch 10 shot groups are possible at 100. And it can definitely get you shooting sub moa at 500. 2700 fps
Nice! I think that was my charge with N140(same burn rate as Varget and TAC) and that bullet. I just picked up some TAC since it's the cheapest powder in that range of the chart available. I'll have to see what my gun likes👍🇺🇲
Try 44.0 gr of TAC under Hornady 165gr SST. First 3 rounds out of a new Ruger GoWild were touching at 25 yards (sighting in) and within an inch at 100yds. Speeds were 2700/2700/2710 fps.
Shooters world Precision rifle or Match rifle would be a closer approximation for Varget than TAC I am quickly becoming a fan of Shooters world powders better prices and availability and better yet great performance for accuracy and speed in my rifles.. BTW my experience with TAC is that the best performance cmes with high load densities without compression and usually at the upper higher end of safe pressures..
I haven’t seen printer paper like that for a looong time. Picked up 8lb of Midwest powder equivalent to TAC. Was a great deal.

I see you recently posted part 2 so I wanted to see part 1. Most definitely a great powder in 308. I'm getting 3200fps in a 24" 308 with 130 TTSX
I’m pushing a 175 gr SMK through a 20” barrel which would account for the speed difference. Thanks for watching.
@@southernexposure1205 Yes I saw you were using a much heavier bullet. I just wanted a light wt hunting bullet in my 308s

it's crazy how sensitive to powders they can be. good luck. Thanks for watching.
I purchased some Tac a couple of years ago but haven’t tried it yet for my 308 . Thanks for the video and information.
I hope to have another test session soon with the other loads. Thanks! Please like and subscribe to help the algorithm.

@@bobwiley6221 i do have some other bullets in that weight range. I may give them a try.

Thanks for the feedback. I hope to do more testing soon.
What bullet were you using
175 grain Sierra Match King
Best powder
A good usable powder. Wait for next video.
