Got another data point. 25 grains of N540 in my 16” 223 tikka is getting 2795 FPS shooting 77 TMKs with an ES of 19
Thanks!! I have a few lbs of that, and was wondering how it would work!! What brass are you using?Got another data point. 25 grains of N540 in my 16” 223 tikka is getting 2795 FPS shooting 77 TMKs with an ES of 19
Norma brass.Thanks!! I have a few lbs of that, and was wondering how it would work!! What brass are you using?
Based on drops, my 18.5" T3 lite is shooting the AAC TMKs at 2675 fps.Factory black hills and AAC 77 tmk numbers would be really helpful for those of us who don't reload.
Factory tikka barrel cut to 18 inches shoots black hills 77TMK ammo at average 2738 fps for me at around 1000 feet of altitude.

Not sure what to tell you. Chrono was Magnetospeed. I believe results are accurate.I figured 8208 would be faster than that. I got 2800 out of my 16” 223 with 77s and 25 grains of N540
Yes.Are the handloads all seated to book COAL?
Not questioning your results just my recent purchase. I just spent $400 hoping 8208 would be as fast or faster than N540Not sure what to tell you. Chrono was Magnetospeed. I believe results are accurate.
My 8208 xbr should be delivered today. I’m hoping for at least 2830fps from a 22” barrel.Not questioning your results just my recent purchase. I just spent $400 hoping 8208 would be as fast or faster than N540

I’m getting that from my TAC load.
I’m looking forward to it. I shot my current load to 660 yards yesterday. Furtherest I’ve shot my rifles. Lol. Took me 2 shots to dope the wind and hit my last 2 shots. 50% hit rate on an 18” steel circle is terrible for most folks, but I felt good about it.23.5gr will get exactly that.
