I've been using it with 50gr bullets for my general purpose .223 varmint loads that I use in two bolt guns and two AR's. Haven't used it with any heavier bullets though as I don't shoot them in .223. If I need to shoot something past 300 yards I pull out the fast twist 22-250AI.

i've used TAC on only one round in .223: was doing a load development for 88 gr ELD Match with Lake City Brass. 24 gr of TAC got me 2744 fps with SD: 6.8 COAL: 2.371

I use TAC with 77gr SMK' s in a 1-8 Rock River ar. I get 1/2" groups when I do my part.....I found that TAC and Varget fill the bullet weights between 52gr and 77gr. But each rifle is an entity unto it's self....rsbhunter

You could do that with a .22 short if you put it in his ear, but it is a dandy buck.
I'll side with the administrator on this one, except on the bigger animals.
