Tac and 55gr

[firemanjoe]

I just picked up some tac and am going to load it for my AR platform in 223. Is anyone loading tac and 55gr fmjbt? I will start out at the low end and work my way up like I do for all my loads, but just thought I would get some input.

I'm using it with 55g Soft Points and like it so far for my AR.

I'm loading 24.7 grains with hornady 55gr fmj with cannellure works great.

24.4 grains for me with 55gr fmj.

TAC is a very good powder for heavy bullets, and works well in a lot of different calibers, it is pretty stable for a ball powder and consistent as well. It works good with the lighter bullets like 55-62gr's but not the really light stuff, like 50 and under 50.

Best of all it meters and flows great in a dillon.

If you wanted to use just one powder for all your needs TAC is it.

Hornady book says 55gr bullet TAC 24.7 grains will give you 3200 FPS 26" barrel case trim 1.750"
Max C.O.L. 2.260"

Ramshot load data says:

TAC 55 VNE FMJ Start 23.1 3,002fps max 25.7 3,281fps 54,310max pressure C.O.L. 2.223

I like to load a little hotter than .223 for 5.56 rounds
