Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 308 win: TAC vs VARGET vs RE-15 : whats your fav

I understand why you aren't self obsessed, so can much of your family I'm certain.

Trying to insult someone through their family? LOL

I would have thought such a completely clueless, no-class tactic would be beneath even you, apparently not...............dj

His New Years Resolution for 2012 was to see if he could be even more of a dickhead than he was in 2011..

He's off to a good start..

At about a minute to scan a forum then post out, 50,000 is a pretty impressive amount of time spent.

Go easy on Steely. He's fun. And has nice twins!!!

Well....you kinda are. Same old [bleep] everyday.

nice rack

DYou boys just don't get it, which is funny to me. Really, what is the post count hang up? Not like I ain't been living my life and doing, shooting, killing, working and [bleep]. Christ, I average 60 hours a week at work, sleep, hunt etc.

Of course you all are proof that idiots take MUCH longer to perform a task, hence the weighing every load.

Guessing you intended to be even more stupid this year than last, good luck with that. Can't wait for your next PM asking for assistance, not as if I'd ask you a frigging thing.

Jesus, where do all you stupid [bleep] come from? Must have been one dumb SOB working the north border bareback some years past.

Ok ace, again let us see what you've done in the time I've made 50,000 posts. You've seen some of what I've done.

PS, smacking the old lady around don't count.

Looks like I need to make one more trip across the border in another attempt to breed the stupid out of you Canucks.

Almost forgot one other thing, Happy New Year all!

I've been lurking around the Campfire for around 6 years, Scotts Colorful Personality and Pics are one of the reasons.Steelhead is welcome at my Camp anytime.

For the record, and anyone that knows me knows, I'm a lot of things but obsessed with myself ain't one of them.

I am very guilty of being obsessed with life. So much fun and beauty out there, it's difficult to take anything serious.

Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun, not sure WTF that means. Life is too short to not have FUN.

My statement was neutral. Find some thing your good at and stick with it, I say.

PS, why you smacking the old lady?

After reading what JB had to say about TAC I thought I'd give it a try as I was looking for another powder for the 223 with longer cleaning intervals.I'd just finished an 8 lb bottle of H335 which worked fine but isn't as clean as some of the newer powders that are working in AR platforms out there. So I bought 5 lbs of TAC and noted that it was $4 a lb cheaper than Varget and $2 lb cheaper than RL-15. Shooting my R-15 or my M700 VS on PD's is a volume deal. Before I even got a load up and running I was seeing good comments on using it in the 308 ,so I started there. at about 46.5 grs of TAC the 150 Horn SP and Rem 150 Clkts were shooting well. The metered charges in my old RCBS Unflow were very consistant. +- .1 gr per charge. Operating the Uniflow in a consistant manner is still the most important part in throwing a consistant charge. Granule shape never provided a problem. Every 10 charges I'd check one and eventually moved my check to 25 charges.I moved on to different 150 gr bullets I had on hand and shot and tested them with the TAC still getting good enuf accuracy to merit loading them. I have 500 rds on hand for my 308 loaded with Hornady SP,Rem clkts, WW Power Pts in 150 gr weights with the same charge of TAC. velocities vary a little but all in the 2800 fps range and the zero appears pretty close to the same with all.Next stop with the 308 will be with a good 168 gr BTHP match style bullet and again TAC as well as other easy metering powders will get the first look.I don't like having to weigh every charge either no matter how good a load it is specially if you have to set low and trickle to the right weight. One of these days I'll buy a digital dispenser, a Lyman or RCBS for extruded powder and BP use but for ball powders that meter like TAC,335,380,760 etc. My Uniflow works great for me.I allways call things as I see them. Whether my view is popular or not and I like reloading, but if I had my hands full of other things like Steelhead had in the picture I wouldn't be thinking of reloading shells period. Magnum Man
