I'll tell you what - Varget is hard to beat.

I was shooting Re15 all year and switched back to Varget. It shoots like magic.

I never could get the velocity I wanted with varget.

TAC has been my choice from 50's to 77's for several years now. I even found it shines in my 204.

TAC, the little I used it when we were getting out of shooting, always amazed me.

Compared favorably to N540 which is what netted us speed when that was what we desired.

I shot a few more groups with the 65gr. Sierra Gameking Spitzer Boat Tails loaded with 26.0grs. of Varget over the weekend. I am more than pleased with the accuracy. My 3 shot 100 yard groups from my 16" DPMS Oracle this weekend were even better than a couple weeks ago, right close to 1/2".

At 2744 FPS average from the 16" Barrel this load is OK in that department but a little more velocity wouldn't hurt a thing if I could them shooting this good.

A stiff dose of Benchmark works well in mine with the 65 SGKs.
