Tac is a little temp sensitive, I have taken the round let it sit in the sun and it spiked a bit. My preference is varget but I will use Tac, 1/2 inch 10 shot groups are possible at 100. And it can definitely get you shooting sub moa at 500. 2700 fps

    • @southernexposure1205
      @southernexposure1205 7 місяців тому

      the drum was just an old candy tin, nothing special. You can use metal bowls if they have flat sides and bottoms or large tin cans, anything with flat bottoms and flat sides. You will probably need to cut the sides to the necessary depth depending on your cartridge length. My cartridge was a 308. The diameter and number of slots can be changed depending on the rpm of your motor. just put a mark on whatever drum you select and time how long it takes to go 1 revolution.. I determined my slots by timing how long it took my brass to get to temperature, then used that time to calculate where and how many slots to put on my drum. Good Luck!

    IMR 4320, I think, is the number of it. It's not to far off from varget. I got several bottles of varget I bought and not using. I bought it to use in my boys 243. They both don't hunt much. I have used Tac in my 204 ruger and 223 rem. It's hard finding the right powder. For my new 280 ackley improve. It's a 1@8 twist. So, I'm planning on trying Hornady ELD X 175 gr. And ELD M in 180 gr first thing.

    Technically, no a 5th shot won't, not by itself, but 4 or more groups of 3-5 (gun cooled down like you would expect it to be each time you go to the field) WILL make a difference in your assurance of accuracy. You said that flyer was you, but did you know that when you let off the trigger? Too many shooters take the blame for what's actually statistical noise. Hornady episodes 50 & 52 (entitled respectively "Your groups are/are still too small.") cover the truth about statistics in determining accuracy. The only thing small aggregate groups are truly valid for is weeding out bad loads or identifying other issues.
