Hello, I've been experimenting with TAC instead of my usual powder, and I loaded up some rounds using Hornady bulk 55-grain FMJBT, CCI-Bench Rest primers and TAC powder.
My intended charge weight was 24.2 grains, but this powder seems to be subject to weight creep in my LNL press/LNL powder measure, so I ended up with 24.6 grains.
I don't have access to a chrono right now, so I wanted to get your opinion on whether or not this seems like a heavy load. I have a feeling it's OK since I've seen published charges such as this for heavier bullets, but I realize there is a lot of difference among bullets and various publishers' testing results.
It is meant to be fired from a 20" AR in temperature range of 30 to 80 degrees.
