AA 4064 shoots very well in the Garand, and also in the AR/223, especially with 80 grain Sierra Matchkings. But that is another story.
Been wanting to try Ramshot TAC in the 223 - partly because I've heard/read good things about it, and partly because it seems often available, and being a ball powder probably meters as well as AA2460 - which I've also used in both rifles and works well.
There are Garand-specific loads using double base ball powers like AA2460 and 20520, H335, W748, and a few others. but I see no listings for TAC specifically in the Garand so I'm hesitant.
Plenty of data is listed for TAC in 30-06 but none of the listings say the pressure curve is suitable for the Garand. It is, however, right in the ballpark on "burn rate charts" for other Garand-suitable powders, so maybe it is OK.
I can stock AA 4064 for the Garand and try TAC in the AR, but it would be nice to know whether TAC would be safe for the Garand if I ran out of everything else.
Anyway there are a number of very well-informed people here and I'm betting someone has relevant knowledge / experience, so that's why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you provide.
