So this is where I ended up with tac and the 73 eldm. Shooting 0.7 ish and 2820 fps. Seems a little slow out of the ruger 22” barrel. I wish they predator was a wylde chamber. I hit pressure signs and had to back off. Same gun shot factory 68 Hornady BTHP 2860.

I was able to put 30 rounds thru the predator 223 tonight and it shot several sub 0.75 groups at 100. A really fun rig. Not sure why I waited so long to get one

I’m liking the ruger 223 so much that I’ll probably look for a tikka too in the same caliber. Once they come back around. A tikka 6 arc would be cool too !!

How is yours working out.? I just got one too. It shot the 55 fmj fiocci about an inch. Then I shot some 68 HPBT Hornady and it shot under 0.75. Really like this predator so far!!!

I really wanted to go the tikka route but the non threaded ended up turning me to the ruger predator 223. I am gonna load 73 eldm this year. Maybe the 77s too

Anyone running TAC with heavies ? I’ll be running that with 73 eldm and Hornady brass once I get the factory ammo shot this weekend

I just bought an Arken SH4 4-16, should be here today actually to put on top of my Ruger American Predator 223. I called ruger today about the AICS magwell conversion. It's $26 so I may do that down the road. Just got the gun last week so once i get the optic on and such I will be running thru...
So I pretty much read thru all of this. How cool ! I just picked up a ruger predator 223 and bought the 73 eldm. Will the 73 eldm do just fine for Oklahoma whitetails? I would have bought the 77s if I would have saw this first lol. Cant return the 73s tho, already opened them. Please let me know!
