If you had to pick between leverevolution or tac, which one would you pick?

I am new to the reloading game, so working to pick up a large amount of components.

Tac works well in mine

 

[Formidilosus]

So would tac still be a reasonable choice in cooler weather and non red line loads with heavy bullets? I recently picked up a few pounds of it for this purpose after seeing decent results on here accuracy wise. It's also $30 a pound cheaper than any h or imr powders around here. I was also considering lever as it doesn't seem to be very popular here and is somewhat cheaper as well, but I couldn't find any published data and the Internet data I could dig up wasn't very consistent.

Tac works fine, just pay attention.

Will do.. I'm not a red line reloader anyways. Do you happen to have a grain weight of leverevolution to work up to? Feel free to pm me if you don't want to open source it. I like to keep my options open as I'm in northern BC and powder availability can be spotty. TIA

What’s the speed on the 8208 77 grain TMK loads? COAL on that load?

Thanks

If you have turkeys, I can swing by there this Spring.

There are turkeys around here somewhere but I don’t know that the xbr will last that long haha!

Truth be known, I’d rather have the turkeys.

I wasn’t even aware of the SBR issue; thanks for bringing that up. Leaning away from a pinned and welded muzzle device. May just go with a 16” barrel and a folder.

Would like to keep the weight low, maybe 7-ish pounds with optic. When I’m not hunting in people’s backyards, I hike a lot.

I’m hunting with a Ruger American in 223 this year, with 73 ELD-Ms. If there’s no drama with recovery, I’ll pursue the AR option.

SWS Rifles will build you an integrally suppressed upper with overall barrel/baffle stack length of 16.1 for a one tax stamp gun.

You’d lose some compactness as a trade-off, though.

I know there are others also, but a familiar with the SWS rifles ‘cuz we have a handful at work.

Basiclly a Tikka 223 cut back to 20 inches and threaded for a suppressor with a SWFA 10 power scope. You can adjust it to your needs.

Oh no, no, no. The coveted 77 TMK.

It makes them look like a staggering drunk for about 10 yards on the outside and raspberry soup on the inside.

No moose available where I’m at. But if there was and it were legal, I’d kill the shit out of one.

I already had a RAR 5.56 and a Vortex Viper PST 2.5x10 G1 so I'm running with that. Put it in a KRG Bravo cause I hated the flimsy stock. The 73 ELDM shoots really well so I'm cracking those while I wait for my Black Hills 77 TMK's to come in.
