Does anyone use TAC in their 6x45?

[Megastink]

I have a 20" bolt gun that I'm working up a load for. I'm using Berger 87gr VLD-H, as this will be a hunting rifle. I tried H335 but velocities were lackluster (2,507 at max load).

I'm an experimenting with TAC in my 6.5 Grendel and my .223, and it seems like a natural fit for the 6x45. However, Berger nor Hodgdon have data on that powder in that caliber.

I have found a handful of pet loads from individuals, but I'd like to ask this community. Where is your starting point, and where did you stop? Velocities you got? Accuracy?

Those that respond minds well include their rifle/hand load breakdown. Thank you in advance!

I have a copy of some old load data that was compiled on a different forum.

For my own gun, I have a 16” 1/8 twist barrel bolt action AR15. I originally wanted to stay under 90 grains. I found a load my rifle liked with the 87gr vmax and x-terminator powder. Over max load but averaging 2688. I recently got a handful of 95gr tmk, thanks to another rokslider, and got them up to 2664 with h335, but I haven’t accuracy tested them, just pressure tested. My rifle shot the 80gr and 90gr nosler ballistic tips pretty slow.

Photos are from 100 and 300 yards with my vmax load.

Hodgdon has load data online free for 6x45.
Attached is the load data from the other site for 87gr.
