Does anyone use Tac or other Ramshot powders in this round. I'm looking for some data. Thanks | ||

Just tried some TAC in my Rem 673 this weekend. Per the Barnes website, 58.0-64.0 gr. w/ 200gr. TSX (2726fps - 2943fps). Mind you, I'm not shooting a TSX. Remington 673, 22" bbl. Hornady 200gr. IL, seated to the cannelure, 2.800" 60.0 TAC: 2691, 2702, 2717 fps. 62.0 TAC: chrono malfunction. (Guessing 2800fps) 64.0 TAC: Warm load. Primer pockets showing slightly smoked. Slightly sticky bolt. PS: Temperature, 96 degrees on the range. So, 62.0 is where I'm stopping. Recoil was definitely snappy. Accuracy was good enough to make me want to reshoot. 1.5" @ 100 yards off an unsteady rest w/ 62.0gr. Strangely, shot 4" left of point of aim. 60.0 - 64.0 shot same Point of Impact, so at least it's consistent. Shot about a 3" group with 15 total rounds (5 each of 60-62-64). So, there you have it. I hadn't quite settled on a particular powder for the .350, but TAC may be worthwhile. I think I had my best accuracy with 4064, but that was off a seriously packed sandbag rest and the rifle was extremely stable. Regards, Robert ****************************** H4350!

I have an unopened eight pound container of TAC that I would make someone in my area a good deal on if we can figure out a way to get it to you.

It's a small ball powder with a burn rate similar to IMR 4895. Can't say if it's temperature insenstive though. There's also load data for it for the .375 H&H (!). I tried it but didn't really like the results. Low velocities (2250 w/ 300gr. bullet) and it just didn't "feel right". No pressrue signs but a gut feel said to stick with H4350 or 4831. PS: I do LOVE it in my .223 / 50gr. Midsouth Varmint Extreme loads. 1/2MOA accuracy...velocity at around 3k - kinda slow but usable. Regards, Robert ****************************** H4350!

Haven't tried any Ramshot powders in the 350RM. My preference is IMR4895/4320 in the 350's. | |||
