Been slowly working on this load and I think I have a winner. I do want to run a higher power optic on this rifle and see if this is me or the load. Either way, I'm pretty stoked with this. Very light extractor marks on my brass, but nothing to worry about.
100 Yards 5 Shots
Ruger AR556 16" 1:8 5.56 NATO 337 Rounds fired
23.9 Grains of TAC
COAL 2.260" O-Give 1.880" (Mag Length)
.002" Neck Tension with crimp
SMK 77 grain BTHP no cannular
Norma Virgin Brass
CC No. 41 Primer
2760 FPS
10.7 SD
28.7 SE
53°
I ran the remaining 13 rounds in my mag over the Garmin shown.
I'm good with this for now. I will check it again at different temps, but for a defensive load in my carbine, I'm pretty damn stoked with this. I know I swapped COAL/OGIVE oops
