Ramshot powders for use in loading .308?

csmsss · August 30, 2009, 06:22 PM

Does anyone have any experience with using any of the Ramshot powders for reloading .308? I'm interested primarily in the TAC and Big Game powders for use with 150 grain Hornady FMJ's, 175 grain Sierra Match Kings, and 180 grain Speer soft points. I'm using (mostly) Lake City brass. Thanks in advance!

I have used TAC as well as Big Game. Big Game is not ideal for .308 but the TAC works great.

I have been using 41gr TAC with 165gr out of bolt actions and semi autos with good results. This is a modest load and accuracy is good.

TAC shoots very well.

Hey, I'm interested, too. I'm using Lake City brass, 175 gr. MatchKings and 42.0 of RL15. It works very well--but I'm finding out that RL15 appears to be temperature sensitive in some cases. I'm always looking for good loads, and I'm interested in Ramshot powders.
