I worked up some loads with TAC and the 120X and even tried some TTSX's, results were the same....not worth a damn. Big Game showed much more promise. I'm trying '15 next time out to see how it does in comparison. Nail What about guns?When do we get guns?

I use Big Game for the 140 gr. bullets. RL-15 was my "go to" powder and works great, but I get as good or better results with the Ramshot powders and they meter so much better. Skeeter & shootem-This is the load my rifle likes: 120 gr. TTSX TAC-41.9 grs. Win. Brass WLR Primer 2.740� COL There is room for all of God's creatures....right next to the mashed potatoes.
