    123 AMAX and ramshot Tac

    Just what the title says. I have 4 pounds of Tac and want to try it with the 123. Any help or previous experience is appreciated. I have lapua brass and cci primers if that helps. Any velocities would be helpful too (I have an 18" barrel)

      The AA reloading manual has info for 120gr bullets that should get you into the ballpark. Experiment, but just be safe and remember to start low and workup.

        Sorry guys, completely missed this until today.

        I've loaded a lot of TAC under various bullets. My best loads under the 123 AMAX have run about 27-29 grains, depending on the rifle.

        Start at 27 and work up slowly. My bet is that your most accurate load will be between 27.8 and 28.8 grains.

        Watch your brass carefully, because I had a load that was incredibly accurate in my 19.5 inch rifle that was overpressure in my 28".

          Just checking to see if there are any updates to your load workups.

          I most recently loaded 28Gr of TAC with 123A-max bullets and had very good results (For my skill level) alas I have no chrony to report from my 16" barrel

            Great post, I was just looking for a starting point myself with those very components.

            What has been better for velocity, A 2520 or TAC?

                I haven't tried the 123gn bullets with tac, but my 18" loves the 95 gn v-max with tac.
