AA2460 has done extremely well for me and the plastic-tipped bullets from Nosler and Hornady in 40 & 50 grains. Middling charges. My first couple 5-shot .25" groups came with this powder and both 40 and 50 grain Hornadys.

In a couple guns.......50BT, 26.5-27.0/VV133, IMI, Rem7-1/2BR.....14" twist. Approach carefully. Actually just read this. Never have tried 133 but might have to. Will say I have had a good experience with the 7 1/2BR. Think it's a very under rated primer.

28g w748 since 1979 does the trick, prints sub moa in all my varmint rigs. I now run the 50g vmax with it, started with hornadys 50g jsp back then.

My favorite for 50s is 26.0 grains of benchmark
The same charge of TAC shoots just as accurately but the velocity doesn't match the benchmark

dude270,
TAC is a little slower-burning than Benchmark, so the same charge of TAC with the same bullet will result in less velocity.

I have mainly used 7 1/2 remingtons but I've just recently tried the tula small rifle magnums and they seem to work just as well.
As per Mule Deers advice, Magnums seem to work at least as well or better with TAC.
John,
I figured there was room to step on the gas with the TAC loading but the accuracy with 26 grains is exceptional in every 223 I've tried them in so its hard to get away from something that works.
Thanks again for that load.
Both are great powders but I save my TAC for heavier bullets in the 223 precisely due to its slower burn rate. Its a killer powder for 63 on up to 75 grain bullets
