Does TAC blow a big yellow ball of fire out the end of your barrel?

47.5 grains of varget will turn one inside out but you might need to work up to it. The most consistent load we've come up with in 3-4 different rifles is 49.5 grains of RL-15 and an OAL of 2.200


What are you shooting with an oal of 2.200? My 7-08 is 2.757 and 300wsm is2.800

I have shot 5-6 deer with them, all does, at distances from 15-150 yards. Half of them were DRT, the others ran 40-100 yards. Never recovered a bullet and all had devastating wounds.
