Alternative .223 powder

[Lawnboi]

You could make it real real easy and just buy cartridges that are easy to load for, and buy the powder everyone is jumping to get for them. No need to fiddle around.

223 is a good start

Where the fun in that though! Hell I quit drinking 4 months ago....I gotta spend my money on something!

I hear you. Shoot enough, and Atleast for me time on the bench is what I want to avoid. More time making it go bang is more fun.

Rob, I think you’ll find good results near or just over book max for Tac with a 77 if you don’t reach pressure. I’ve had good luck with it driving 50 blitz’s and 77 smk’s. Keep us informed on how it goes.

I was able to get tac and xbr at sportsman’s within the last 2 weeks. I check about twice as week and got lucky. They even had primers last Monday. They do limit to 1 lb and 200 primers.

I just came into a 8lb'er of xbr....$380 after tax. I hate the price but love the bang for the buck.
