Ramshot powders

Post by crazy2medic »

looking at loading with the Tac powder, but also considering xterminator, any suggestion from the guys that have used both or either? I intend to load the 35gr. bergers

I tried some Ramshot X-Terminator with some 39gr Sierra BKs with good results and also in my .223 using 40gr V-Max... The performance is really close to the Winchester 748, which is my standard load powder. Ramshot is a few cents cheaper per pound locally.

Both are ball powders and meter exceptionally well.

I use Exterminator and really like it I have a pound of Tac on the shelf but haven't used it yet. It meters great and gives better groups with less fliers than any other powder I've used. The velocity is less than what I get with Hodgdon or IMR but it meters way better and groups great it was $4.00 less a pound than the other powder thats why I bought it. I love it.
