Berger Bullets and Tac Powder

[Ryan S Albright]

Does any body have the specs for this combo 35gr Berger bullets with Tac powder. I have been working on my Ruger V/T I have glass bedded and pillered the stock cut the barrel down to 21" replaced the trigger with a rifle basix and adjusted it to 15oz. and mounted a 10x40 power scope on the rifle? I loaded some dog town bullets with 26.1 grs of Tac and I have had a hard time getting a group with this load I noticed the primmers where flat and when de-primed that the anvils always fell out of the primmer. This should be a low load for this bullet should I keep increasing the loads.

Ryan, I'm having to go off memory on this, but I think I had better results with a charge of 26.3 gr of X-Terminator for the 35gr Bergers...

I tried TAC in a few and found the X-T burns a little faster and with the Magnum primers, gives me the groups that I want..

I usually reserve the TAC for my .223s.. but then, maybe my .204 barrels are a little more finicky..

Ryan a load I used in a Ruger 204 w/ 26" Hart barrel 1 in 12 was
TAC/ 28.0/ 35 Berger OAL of 2.310 vel 3900. Winchest brass and Rem 7-1/2 primers.
Hope this helps.
