Ramshorn TAC data #16756436 12/23/21 Joined: Mar 2019 Posts: 397 H haazrob OP Campfire Member OP haazrob Campfire Member H Joined: Mar 2019 Posts: 397 The local gun shop has TAC. It says it's good for 308 and 223. I looked on the website for data and can't find data for either 223 or 308. Any opinions on TAC powder here?

I'm over it now. TAC meters like water, gives very high velocity, and is very accurate in the 308. Buy with confidence. Okie John Last edited by okie john; 12/24/21.

It also sometimes works a little better with hotter primers. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck
