    Using tac for my 223, what primer?

    I usually load my 223 with bl-c2 and cci450 primers under 55gr fmj. I can't find either in stock so I ordered a few pounds of tac because I have heard nothing buy good things about it. Any recommendations for primers?

      Pretty much any small rifle primer will do, Mag primers are not needed for TAC but will work.
      I prefer Rem. 7.5 when available

        I use CCI450. But you can also use any non magnum primer.

        My backordered primers from Graf's just shipped. Took about 3-4 weeks. Glad I ordered bulk since I don't foresee component shortage getting any better.

        The fate of the wounded rest in the hands of the ones who apply the first dressing.

          I use no. 41 cci for 5.56
          CCI no. 400 is just fine too. Pretty much any SPP, but I would avoid Federal because of the soft cup.

                Tac is an excellent powder for 223. It likes the heavier projectiles but 55gr works just fine. I run 25,6 with any sr primer I have.
