6.5 Grendel load??

[Gotz ammo?]

So I'm a little new to reloading and I am wondering if what I got will be okay. So im going to start with Ramshot tac powder, fiocchi primers, lapua scenar 123gr, and aa casing. Will I be okay with that mixture?

A lot of factory and personal recipes there in the reloading forum. Be careful loading this catridge, it can spike very quickly.

I've gotten sub MOA approx < 1/2" groups with this recipe my gun's a early medesha special so it's quite a bit beefier then a standard AA also the AA recipe doesn't specifically give this load combination, but since they used 748 with a 120 bullet I decided to experiment with some lighter bullets; I noticed that a load of 29.5 gave pretty bad stacking so I dropped the load a grain and the groups drastically improved.

Here's the recipe:

205M Primer
AA 6.5 grendel brass
28.5 Grains of W748
107 SMK
COAL 2.2" ~ 2.25"

Gun Info -
1/8 Twist -28" Heavy Barrel
AR Type rifle

RELOAD AT YOUR OWN RISK; THIS LOAD WORKED IN MY RIFLE DOES NOT GUARENTEE IT WILL WORK IN YOURS

With Ramshot Tac powder, What grain load should I use? There is no information on that. They list Ramshot X terminator load but not tac. I know that the Tac is a slower burning powder then the X terminator. So should I use less grain load, more, or equal then the listed X terminator?

I'd say look at the AA arms reloading data; look at how much they recommend for the 107 bullet and how much they recommend for the 120 bullet that should give you an indication of what direction to go with the 123

I have looked at the AA arms load data, they dont list Ramshot TAC powder though. And thats what I have.

Tac is not listed for 6.5 Grendel on the ramshot reloading data.You might try Hodgdon.A bunch of different powders are listed .

Thats a good resource. I am using the H335 load and Sierras.
