I’ve been in the process of trying to find a good deer/bear (maybe elk) round for my CA MPR 16” .308 but have struggled to find good velocities with bullet/powder/primer combos that are available.
I’ve been using IMR 4064 with decent results (right at MOA with 165gr TGK going 2570 with a good tight velocity spread but recently came into some Ramshot TAC.
Loaded up two test ladders and one was about MOA and the other was about .7 MOA all at the same POI as my 4064 pet load. I didn’t bring a chrono because I was more or less testing for pressure signs and it’s about 90 and humid here, and I just didn’t have it in me.
My question is: Who here has shot TAC extensively and what is your opinion on temp sensitivity? It was 87 here today and I was firing these towards the end of my outing so hot barrel, hot action….hot….everything. The rounds had also warmed to the ambient temps of where we were shooting.
Im hoping that I’m not getting my hopes up. This stuff meters like a dream and would’ve saved me a bunch of headaches since this gun has been a bit picky. I’m assuming the velocity should be comparable to my 4064 load per the load data I was checking.
Thanks for the input.
