TAC is good stuff in vanilla .223...
Likely good with AI too...

TAC worked well in two of the 223 AI's in my steel closet. Probably could bump the velocity a touch more as well.
NOT a dirty powder either....a side benefit??!!

My present 223AI prefers H335 with the 50 grainers. It kicks TAC's ass with that weight.
But TAC wins with the 75 A-Max. RL15 second, and H335 third.
If I had to choose one powder, H335.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

The guys at ramshot gave me 23.9 as the max TAC load for 223ai/75amax. Does that sound right to y'all?
I don't have a chrony, but groups aren't looking too bad.
Can anyone give me an idea of what kind of velocity I should be looking at with that combo?
If this is a stupid question and you're getting ready to jump my ass, realize that I'm pretty new to reloading and very new to AI stuff, so please suck it.
