Just fyi.


I ran the Barnes load through Quickload.

First of all, QL is showing 60.0 grains of TAC as being a compressed load @ 104.6% capacity.
Maximum safe load is around 56.4 grains. Velocity running 2701 fps. Chamber pressure is 57,638

At 60.0 grains, chamber PSI is 70,849!

Does anyone have a real world report on this load? I would be scared to run what barnes has published with a minimum load of 58.0 grains going to 64.0 maximum. They also list the COAL @ 2.780" How can you get that much powder in the case?

I really want to try this load out, but would love to hear from those running it before I start load development.
