HiCapMag Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I see plenty of threads listing loads, but nobody ever says what velocities they get. If you load TAC under either a 69 or 77 SMK, please let me know what kind of velocity you are getting, and please share the length and make of your barrel. Thanks!

kgunz11 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Depends on YOUR bbl. How tight the bore is and how long it is. 2800fps is easily obtainable in a 20" bbl. shooting 77gr SMK's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiCapMag Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I appreciate that, but am aware. I am looking for specific experiences with TAC until such time as I can get to the range and find out LOL At the end of the process, I need an accurate load out to 500 yards.... I "think" the better bc of the 77 and the faster velocity of the 69 will be a wash on windage, but need some estimates to play with the numbers. Thanks and keep um coming.

Big Shooter Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'm using 23.5 of TAC w/ a 77 SMK in a 16" JP barrel. I'm still in the development stage, but I'm getting an average of 2580 fps. Loaded to 2.260" Once fired brass & whatever primers I happened to have on hand. Sierra book max charge is 24 grains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
