Hey,
I have a great handload for my 308 Win using TAC powder with a 125 grain all copper bullet. It's going 3200 fps out of a 21" barrel.
Which is great, but the problem is that (supposedly) TAC powder is notoriously unstable in temperature change. Considering it gets quite cold up here (upstate NY) during hunting season, I want something more stable.
I just tried to ladder test with Varget and I couldn't get enough Varget in the case to push the bullet over 3050 fps out of my somewhat short barrel.
Do you guys know of any other powders I could try? I'd really like to be able to get at least 3100 fps, if possible.
Thanks!
