Does anyone use TAC in their 6x45?

[ezwy]

I'm going to try some loads with TAC.
Also working up some with CFE 223.
I have some Win748 I have considered too. Anybody done these in a 6X45?

A little Hodgdon data, but other than that I'm taking forum information and being conservative with it and comparing to 5.56 load data for 77-90 grain bullets.

TAC is what I load in my 6x45 bolt gun now. Its a little dirty, but velocities and accuracy are nothing short of outstanding. I cant wait to bang flop a deer this fall.

I’m about to start load development with TAC in my 6x45 with the 87s. My buddy gave me a bucket full of once fired 6x45 FC nickel brass. It will work perfect for prairie dog hunts to keep the brass separate for the two rifles.

Did some load work with TAC this morning. This was with a 20” Bartlein 7.5 twist barrel. This barrel has been a little on the slow side, but very accurate. All shooting done at 410 yards. None of the groups were over 3/4 MOA but 25.5 and 27.0 shot the best. Picture below is 27.0, group size is just over 2”, right at 1/2 MOA. No pressure signs, easy bolt lift and primers all looked the same. These were all loaded .030” off the lands but I will try 27.0 at .020 and .040” to see if the groups are any different.

Can you verify COAL from this? Did I read 2.8xx”?!

The overall length written is kind of confusing. That is the actual length using a Hornady comparator. I can measure the actual overall length when I get back from shooting this evening.

OAL for this load is 2.385”

I found that .040” shot slightly better and had a lower ES/SD. They all shot very tight.
