    Anybody ever try Ramshot xtermintaor with a 123gr amax?

    Looking at ramshots load data it looks like it can load the 123gr with ramshot xterm with less powder and lower pressure compared to ramshot tac but will yield the same velocity. I know xterminator is recommended for the lighter stuff but people seem to have success with the 120gr's. I am sitting on a few pounds of both tac and xterminator and will do a ladder for both unless you guys say it's not worth it

    I'm curious how Xterminator does with heavier bullets. I've used Xterminator with 90 grain TNT and 223/5.56 and I like the powder.

      I'm glad I was the guinea pig for this project. Don't use Xterminator with the 123gr amax. Results were very poor across the board which I was kinda expecting but I was hoping there was that small chance that this combo would yield sub MOA. Best results doing a ladder are shown below(over 1 inch @ 100 yards. I went from 25.5gr to 28.5 gr and there were no signs of over pressure on the 28.5gr load.

          Didn't bother running chrono this time. Next ladder will be done with tac which I believe will yield much better results

            Tac is good stuff, x term is Tac"s backup.

            Tac & x term are set for the trials of the Cerabus pill. It's coming soon.

              According to Western Powders Xterminator and Accurate 2230 are the same, exact same load data. Unfortunately I haven't seen either for sale since the powder foundry fire in Belgium a few years ago, same for A-2520.

                I wish Xterminator and 2230 was easy to get.
                I get 3/4 inch groups with the 95 grain v-max and good velocity.
                I use XBR 8208 until some comes around again.
