Finally got out to test TAC with the 60 ballistic tip-varmint..I was really excited to see what was developing near the upper end until an ejector mark showed up..It looked like it was really going to get flat between 24.8, 24.9, 25.0..But I erred on the side of caution and didn't push it to 25.0..But I'll work up some test loads at 24.9 and 24.3 and see how they shoot...I also want to try 24.6 again to make sure it wasn't a fluke in the load making shoot slower.

I chose the 24.3 load and shot it today..Accurate, but the speed is a little on the slow side from what I'd hoped for..But still it appears the flat spot method yielded an accurate load first time out. this from an AR15 20" HBAR 1:7.7 hybrid 3R
