Anyone using Ramshot TAC for 223?

[Wolfhound]

I was wondering if anyone here is using Ramshot TAC powder for loading 223?

Is it ok or not so good? Reading a couple of reviews on Midway some say that it smokes a little? Any experience with this?

I normally use Winchester 748 or IMR3031 but I have not had much luck locating either of those right now. Anyway, Midway has the TAC powder in stock and I wanted to ask about it before I pull the trigger on 8 pounds of powder I have never used before.

Thanks for any help on this.

I use tac. It gives some smoking hot velocities and burns clean. It is also quite reasonable in price compared to other powders. It meters good too.

Tried some last year, didn't have any problems with it.
Seemed to burn clean, and metered nice. Didn't load more than the one batch tho. My rifle seemed to like Varget a little bit better.
To be fair, that was with some 55gr bulk Winchester bullets I picked up at a gun show.
I should give it another try with some better bullets and see what happens.

Just picked up a few pounds of it. Haven't tried it yet, but the research I did is in line with the above comments. It seems to have quite a good reputation with the heavier bullet shooters especially.

MidwayUSA has Ramshot TAC available in 8 pound jugs. I just ordered one.

Ramshot TAC Smokeless Powder

Thanks everyone for your advice. Sounds like a good powder for what I am wanting to load.

I love TAC. I've had good results with 55, 62 and 77 grain bullets.

I used 1 pound of TAC. My AR didn't like the high velocity MAX loads so I used the rest at a medium velocity FMJ load and went back to H335.

Profire had quite a bit of Tac when I was there the other day. I think it is the best for loading 5.56 loads, and it is the cleanest I have used.

I started using Ramshot TAC back when Varget vanished from the shelves during the '08 panic buying. I won't go back to Varget after using TAC. The TAC meters perfectly in my 550B, and using it with 69gr matchkings I've been using it for precision long range shooting for years. I shot the best group of my life using TAC and all my go-to ammo is loaded with it. I am a fan and I see no reason why not to use it. I think it's one of reloadings best kept secrets.

Oh hell, the cats outta the bag now!

Yeah I know I should have placed an order for one of those 8# cans of powder before mentioning how great that powder is on the internet.
