I have used IMR-3031, IMR-4064, Varget and W-748 with 200gr Hornady Interlocks, Rem PSPCL and Hornady FTX bullets. I have the 225gr bullets shooting so well now I don't think I'll look back.

I have tried TAC with 225 and 250gr bullets and velocity was excellent with no compression but accuracy was so-so. I may try them with lighter bullets as has been advised by others but I may just save the TAC for .223 loads.

Mine shoots really well with about 48.5 grns of IMR 4064 with the 200 Sierra RN and the 200 Hornady SP. I get better velocity out of TAC and IMR 3031 but accuracy wise I did better with 4064.
