I need some help. Not too long ago, I got hung up on the precision shooting thing. Since then I built me a compact precision AR-15 and loaded up a bunch of different rounds and tried them out. At some point during all of the hustle and bustle of getting into something new, I got hung up on using Re15 and Varget powerders for my 69 and 77gr loads.
When I first started, I did load up some loads using TAC and tried them out, but then as I said, I got hung up using Varget and Re15. I got great results with Varget and Re15. At least I'm getting great results now. I've improved a lot as a shooter over the last few months.
The thing is that I was going through some data last night and ran across a target that depicted .4 and .5" groups that were shot with a load of 22gr of TAC under a 77gr SMK. How did I forget about that? I don't know.
Now, I'm getting ready to leave town for a few days and want to get an order in for supplies to be here by the time I get back. I'm wondering if I should order up a bunch of Varget and/or Re15 or just get an 8lb jug of TAC and do some experimenting with that.
I know this is getting long winded, so the bottom line question is this....have any of you guys ever compared your accuracy results from the three listed powders? Is the use of TAC something worth pursuing or should I just stick with what I know works? For me, Varget and Re15 are pretty much interchangeable. My rifle likes them both fine, but if I can go to TAC, I can start progressive loading again and not necessarily weigh every charge like I have to do with Varget.
Thanks.
