My rifle is a LMT with a 16 inch barrel, 1 in 7 twist. I am loading a 77 grain sierra boat tail spitzer bullet that is being pushed by 25 grains of varget. Accuracy is great, have had many groups at tight a 1/2 inch at 100 yards when I do my part (that is with a 6 - 20 power scope on the rifle with it dialed up to 20X). When I put the ACOG 4X on, I can still keep them under an inch at 100 yards but I have to work hard at that. I know this is a hot load but the primers don't look that bad. I am trying to duplicate the military load for the 77 grain bullet they shoot.

Is the TAC a ball or flake powder? Stick powders just don't seem to meter well with my gear.

Thanks for all the input.

Question for 5.56 reloaders. I have been loading 5.56 with Varget but it does not meter well in my powder through (RCBS). I am getting about 1 grain varitaion in weight (+ or - 0.5 grains). The varget is very accurate but it takes a lot of time to weigh out each charge. Is there a ball of flake powder that meters well and shoots well in this caliber? Bullets are 55 grain, 60 grain and 77 grain.

Thanks,

John
