I just got some 150 GR TSX's and want to try TAC. COL is 2.80".
These feed great in my Sako, unlike the 168 GR TSX at the same length. Length to ogive is just a few thousandths less, but it made all the difference in my little carbine.

45 to a max of 47gr will run your 150s at about 2800-2900fps.

Assuming I do not need magnum primers..........
I can't wait to try this powder.

Start really low with charge weights and take a chronograph. Years back, I nearly had an HK91 perform a spontaneus dis-assembly with a TAC starting load. Western Powder has since lowered the published data substantially. A call to their ballistician revealed that they had some "goofy data" in their first two manuals in the 308 for some reason. Another buddy of mine said that in a HK fluted chamber, to actually blow the case out enough to FILL the flutes with brass, that load had to be in the 75,000 PSI range.

I think the current manual on their web page is in the 3rd revision.
