I bought a box of reloads (500) last summer for plinking and they turned out to be EXTREMELY accurate, in both my AR, and my 12 FV. So I began inquiring as to the load make up, and of course got turned down for that info.

So i talked to the distributor, and a couple of others and got a fairly consistent answer on powder. So I tore down the last ones I had and measured the load weight, and got an average.

I then made up my own copies of the recipe and low and behold they are as good perhaps better then I was getting.

Only mods are Rockite in the forearm, and a turned down minimum trigger pull.

I have some TAC and will give that a try just for ghits and shiggles. What jump, brass and primer are you using? Where those shot at 100 yds?

Thanks for posting. I am not getting quite that good yet, but having fun with mine. I may try your recipe. I'm using 8208 right now and it is real close to TAC.
