I have the charge weight, but I am unsure whether Jeff really wants it becoming common knowledge. I can ask, I suppose.ukrifleman wrote:Thanks for that Dave.DaveB wrote:It's Ramshot. I got that straight from Jeff Hoffman - President of Black Hills.
I assume we are talking about TAC?
I don't suppose you can put the cherry on the cake and confirm which powder AND the charge!!

The published Ramshot load data from Western Powders contains load data for both Ramshot Tac and Ramshot X-Terminator in the 77gr+ bullet mass categories. This is separated by:
- 55,000 PSI Standard SAAMI Commercial Specifications
- 62,350 PSI CIP Commercial and NATO/Mil Specifications
- 223 Long Throat Actions
Choose the data that's most suitable for your rifle, then get a tub of each powder and try them out! That's the fun of it, right?
