ramshot-tac question

[tmckay2]

yeah i got some crazy accurate loads with reloader 15 and 75s. its tough because every weapon is different and some like some loads and not others. but i was just wondering if anyone had any half way decent loads with the ramshot tac. i may try it in 62s first and see what i can get

STI says it is 8" twist, I have not gauged it though.
I got averaged very close to 1" 5 shot groups to 100 yd, but I do not consider that kind of accuracy as "good".
Groups started to spread quickly when I went over 24,0 grains.

yeah its funny how powders work like that. i used 23.5 of reloader 15 for my 75 grains and it was crazy accurate, bumped it to 24 and it was all over the place

I found I had good luck with TAC at 23.5 and Siera HPBT 69gr in a 1/9 20inch. 24gr seems to do just about the same but I need to eval at full distance (200-400).

wow thats pretty good considering the twist. i might try 23.5 and go up from there

Out of my Sabre with a 1/7 twist (16") they are really accurate. It definitely seem like more of a pop when they fire also. I have been shooting the Privi Partisan / Wolf Gold .223 75gr HPBT. Very nice ammo. Would be even better in a 22"-24" varmint or bolt action.

im going to go ahead and resurrect this thread since i finally have time to do some reloads. just seeing if anyone else has any more data. ive got reloader 15 and tac, and 62 grain fmj and 75 grain bthp. i got good loads with the reloader 15, as stated, but i haven't been able to get very reliable loads with the reloader 15 using 62 grainers. tac is so darn cheap, i spose i should do it the old fashion way and just work up several loads and try them out. but if youve got data, please share!
