I really like the way TAC meters. I've used a lot of IMR-4895. I found that the Mil.surp. metered pretty well, but the commercially made version had kernels that were longer and did not flow well. WW748 works well too, but I've heard people say that pressure can rise dramatically in the heat. I never had that problem; I kept my loads fairly mild when loading it. I think TAC would be the best all around, if you can find reliable source to buy it.

Re-15 measures better than IMR-4895, what I use for Sierra 69 gr HPBT.
Tac is also an excellent powder. |

I was thinking there was a magic powder out these days the way people talk, so I had to ask. Thanx for the input guys.

I've loaded thousands of rounds and have had zero problems. I've heard of slightly rising pressures in desert climates during the heat of summer (which happens to varying degrees with all powder), but I'm in the middle of the country so that has nothing to do with me in the hottest times we have. |
