Anyone know if ramshot tac will work in a 6.5 creedmoor? Im switching from a 308 and i have some powder left over.

Thanks

Welcome aboard, navistar82. TAC should work, though other powders would give better case fill and velocity. Here's a projection with the 129 grain ABLR.

Code:
Cartridge          : 6.5 Creedmoor Hornady
Bullet             : .264, 129, Nosler AccuBond LR 58943 G7
Useable Case Capaci: 47.564 grain H2O = 3.088 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.800 inch = 71.12 mm
Barrel Length      : 22.0 inch = 558.8 mm
Powder             : Ramshot TAC

Predicted Data for Indicated Charges of the Following Powders.
Matching Maximum Pressure: 62250 psi, or 429 MPa
or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

7 loads produced a Loading Ratio below user-defined minimum of 90%. These powders have been skipped.
